History

It's the one of the ancient trade routes, existing right from the Satvahanas, which ghats and was in extensive use to transport goods arriving at the
Junnar which was then a flourished market place.
100's of years gone but still villagers at the ghat area use this pass to reach konkan. It reflects how the emperors use to skillfully choose locations
Naneghat trek is one of the best Monsoon treks. Naneghat speaks very old history which is hardly clearly known to commons. This ignored pass once served a vital trade route between Kalyan and Junnar. Naneghat trek is simple and enjoyable. Way is clearly marked and passes through dense teakwood forests. Climbing from the forest you reach to the base of ‘Nanacha Angatha’, which is pinnacle of Naneghat plateau.
From this base, a 2 meter wide pass connects to the actual plateau. This pass called as ‘Naneghatachi NaLi’ ( ) has been carved and cut in stones by emperors of that time. This 60 meter long pass takes you to the Naneghat plateau.
