Location |
Serving as a trade route for the transport
between markets of Kalyan, Nalasopara (Konkan) and
Junnar (Plateau) since the times of
Satvahanas, this pass today offers you one of
the most enjoyable treks in the vicinity of Mumbai
Nane Ghat is situated at about 55
Km from Kalyan. One can reach the base village Vaishakare
by boarding the state transport bus passing through Malshej Ghat. From Vaishakare
it's about 1/2 a hour walk along the road to Malshej Ghat to
reach the divergence for Nane Ghat. Now there is board indicating the divergence so
there will be no difficulty in finding the divergence. Once a divergence
is taken, it is about 2-3 hours climb to the
summit. |
|
Precaution |
Take sufficient amount of water when you leave Vaishakare as there is no
water in the way till you reach the top. If
you are visiting in non-monsoon season it's advisable to carry an
anti-dehydrate. |
|
Sight Seeing |
Naneghat offers different beauty in different seasons. In summer and
winter, when there are no clouds, view of Jivdhan and
Dhakoba is a real pleasure.
