Nane Ghat
Picture Gallery
Nane Ghat Pass (2724 ft) - 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 jut out from the main range and hence command a
magnificent view of the great bend in the Sahyadri. 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 Nane Ghat area and
the caves are now very popular due to an easy access from Malshej ghat road.
