Naneghat Trek

Nestled in the lap of the Sahyadri Mountain range in Maharashtra, Naneghat is a mountain pass that connects the Konkan sea coast with Junnar town in the Deccan. Situated at a height of 2,600 feet, Naneghat was once an important corridor link through the forests of Ghatghar between the important towns inland and the coastal region. Now, Naneghat is a much-loved and much-frequented route for the explorers and adventurers. The beauty of lush greens amidst patches of dusty terrain is the trademark of this region. Naneghat is no less than a treat to the eyes, soul, and to the adventure-seeking, nature-loving mind.

Most part of the fort has crumbled down, but a few of the inscriptions on the caves are still present that praise the rulers who built them. There are several reservoirs and water tanks around the place. The fort has many artificial caves and the Naneghat pass with gigantic rock walls on both sides. The other side of the pass is blessed with a Ganesha Temple and has a giant rock-cut pot that was used to collect coins from the traders passing by. The pinnacle of the fort is in the shape of a thumb which is famous as ‘Nancha Angtha.’
