Trek To Naneghat Caves In Junnar, Pune

About the Activity:

Naneghat is one the most well-known passes of its time. Literally, the name nane means coin and ghat means pass. The name is given because this path was used as a tollbooth to collect toll from traders crossing the hills.This sheer cliff is a well know landmark, very clearly visible from Konkan region as you pass on your way from Kalyan towards Malshej. The walls of this pass come out from the main range and hence command a magnificent view of the great bend in the Sahayadri. This is a pass, which once in history, enjoyed prime importance. The inscriptions, the steps, the rock-cut rest houses, and the cisterns all point out the historic fact that this route was frequently used as far back as the 1st century B.C. The Naneghat area and the caves are now very popular due to an easy access from Malshej ghat road.
