A Quiet getaway close to Mumbai – Vandri Lake

In July 2023, I had the opportunity to explore Vandri Lake in Palghar, an expansive body of water that remains largely undiscovered. Nestled amidst the majestic mountains, this isolated lake lies approximately 5 kilometers away from National Highway 48. Its tranquil and serene surroundings make it an easily accessible destination from Mumbai.

In search of tranquility amidst the chaos and pollution of city life, I sought a serene destination to escape to after my hectic work schedule. However, the popularity of places like Lohgad, Kalsubai, and Harihar fort has surged, resulting in large crowds and heavy traffic during weekends. I feel frustrated by the travel hassle and overcrowding. A dear friend recommended Vandri Lake to me. I expressed my heartfelt gratitude to him for guiding me to this truly peaceful haven.

I have captured a collection of photographs showcasing the serene and verdant mountains.

Due to the limited number of visitors, there are no restaurants or snack stalls available at this location. It is advisable to bring your own food when visiting.

I would like to stay here for a week, if following amenities were available:

  • Homestays/ Hotels.
  • Restaurants or food arrangements.
  • Adequate mobile network coverage in the village areas.
