The waterfall lies on the Western ghats of Maharashtra It is close to Tamhini Ghat - a mountain passage in the crest of the Sahyadri ranges in Maharashtra. Tamhini Ghat is famous for its alluring landscape filled with sprawling valleys dense forests, and some of the prettiest waterfalls, riverbeds, and lakes.
  • Devkund Waterfall Trek is about 170 km from Mumbai and 110 km from Pune. The journey to the base village is about 7 hours long from Mumbai and 5 hours long from Pune. It can be easily accessed through Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
  • Devkund is a rare plunge waterfall in Maharashtra. It is a beautiful amalgamation of three waterfalls and is said to be the origin of the Kundalika River. The height of the Devkund Waterfall Trek is 2700 ft. approx.  The waterfall tumbles down with a strong gush on the rocky surface right into a natural pool of turquoise waters. The fresh waterfall flows throughout the year, making it one of the few perennial waterfalls in Maharashtra.
  • Devkund, also known as the “Bathing Pond of Gods”, this mystical fall also holds mythological significance and is considered sacred by locals. Some of the beautiful treks like Tamhini Ghats, Andharban, etc fall under this area.
  • The Devkund Waterfall trek distance is about 5-6 Km on one side. It involves moderate trekking of 4 hours with an easy difficulty level. The trek route is plain in the majority of the portions, with some medium ascent of 300 ft at the end of the trail. The route to the secluded falls is an enchanting one as it meanders through lush jungles, gushing rivers, tiny hamlets, and mountain valleys. The terrain gets rocky and muddy in many places. It crosses 3-4 streams and vast open fields along the way. Along the path, there are cute little man-made wooden bridges to cross the waters. En route to Devkund, trekkers come across a hydroelectric power-generating dam called Mulshi Dam, Or Tata Power Dam, in the quaint village of Bhira. The hydroelectric plant of Bhira was the third plant installed by Tata Power Company Ltd in 1927.

Devkund Waterfall Trek

Drone Shot of the Waterfall

Embarking on the  Devkund Waterfall Trek  is akin to stepping into a realm where nature rules supreme, and time seems to slow down. The trek through the  dense forest of Maharashtra  offers an unparalleled experience filled with rich biodiversity, serene landscapes, and the joy of discovering hidden wonders at every turn.

Trekking through the Dense Forest of Maharashtra

In the heart of this verdant wilderness, nestled amidst lush greenery, lies the path that leads to Devkund. The trek is as much about the journey as the destination. The trail meanders through dense woods and rocky terrains, unveiling nature’s grandeur in its full glory.

The forest, a treasure trove of biodiversity, is home to many flora and fauna. Among these are various species of birds that add a melodic rhythm to your trekking experience with their unique calls. Watch for the Indian Giant Squirrel or ‘Shekru’, Maharashtra’s state animal, playfully darting between trees.

As you tread further into the forest, you’ll come across trees like Hirda and Ain exhibiting strikingly beautiful barks in shades of orange and silver, respectively. The undergrowth teems with an assortment of ferns and mosses that carpet the forest floor in various hues of green.

While this symphony of nature unfolds around you, remember that these forests are delicate ecosystems that need our respect and care. Following responsible trekking practices is not just necessary but mandatory for their preservation.

Note:  Stay on marked trails to minimize impact on vegetation; leave everything as you found it—no littering or picking up plants or flowers; avoid making loud noises that can disturb wildlife; respect local customs and traditions.

Lush greenery envelops the waterfall, providing a captivating contrast against the crystal-clear water – an embodiment of nature’s brilliance.

Waterfall Trek Time 

The greatest time to visit is during the monsoon season. The weather is pleasant, and the environment is ideal for a hike or a day out. The Waterfall is most impressive during July and August when rainfall is highest.

Waterfall Trek From Mumbai

The Devkund Waterfalls are accessible by road from Mumbai. This is most likely the simplest method to get there. To go to Devkund, you must first travel to Karjat, then to Pali, and finally to Bhira. In Bhira, finding a parking spot might be difficult. As a result, it is preferable to drive to Pali, park your car there, and then take the bus to Bhira. If you prefer to go by bus, hop on one at Karjat Station, take it up to Pali, and change buses to Bhira.

Take a CST local to Karjat, then a bus to Pali, and finally to Bhira. Check your local listings for bus schedules.

Waterfall Trek From Pune

It takes around an hour and a half to drive from Pune to Devkund. If you're using GPS, follow the directions on the map or ask for directions along the route. The journey is pleasant; however, we recommend taking a taxi from Pune to the waterfalls because there aren't many parking spaces near the falls. Buses go from Khopoli to Pali and from Pali to Bhira to Devkund.

There are no direct trains from Pune to Bhira. To travel to the falls, take a train from Pune to Khopoli and then take a bus from there.

Waterfall Trek Map Details

The walk begins at Bhira's open parking lot. It's a well-maintained trail with signs at regular intervals. Unlike popular assumptions, being lost in the woods is practically impossible. The track is better constructed than a few well-known Maharashtra treks.

The track runs beside the Bhira dam reservoir for the first 30 minutes. Camping is not permitted near the waterfalls, so this is a nice area to pitch a tent if you plan to stay overnight. With the reservoir as a backdrop, this is an ideal camping spot.

From here, a modest drop will lead you along the reservoir's banks, where the track will continue into the forest. You must cross two dried-up creeks separated by around 20 minutes in the first 45 minutes. The landscape is a combination of open meadows and thickets.

After that, the route begins to ascend for a few minutes. Even though the ascent isn't very difficult, it does need a significant amount of effort. Along the walk, you may come across little huts offering tea, lemon juice, and snacks. Because this climb takes place in a deep forest, extreme caution is required when moving among the branches.

The route opens up to a rough stretch after the ascent is completed. A 10-minute hike through the rocks will bring you right up to the waterfall.

A control line has been drawn across the pond by locals. Swimming is permitted in the first half of the bisection. No one is permitted to get to the spot where the water meets the land since the depth is roughly 60 feet and people have drowned there in the past.

If you want to take better shots, October to mid-November is the optimum time to see the falls.

The journey is closed for travellers from July to September when the rain is at its worst.

Monsoon trek over the weekend? Don’t go to these 15 dangerous sites in Maharashtra till September

Mumbai city news: the group of 55, stuck at devkund between two streams of the kundalika river, was rescued after a six-hour operation.

After 55 students got stranded near a waterfall in Raigad on Sunday, trekkers from across the city have come up with a list of 15 spots that are unsafe for vacationers, amateur trekkers and picnickers till September.

Safety comes first, say trekkers.(HT)

The group of 55, stuck at Devkund between two streams of the Kundalika river, was rescued after a six-hour operation.

According to the Raigad and Navi Mumbai police, there have been 15 deaths and 50 injuries at various waterfalls, hilly areas around Mumbai this monsoon over the past two weeks .

“On Tuesday, two people died near the Devkund waterfalls after being pulled into an overflowing stream,” said a senior police personnel from Raigad. “It is our request to citizens not to traverse in dangerous territories during this season.”

The locations identified as dangerous monsoon spots are – Devkund waterfalls near Bhira village in Raigad, Chinchoti waterfalls in Vasai, Pandavkada in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, Zenith waterfall at Khopoli, Kundeshwar at Badlapur, Kalawatin Fort in Panvel, Kataldhar waterfall in Lonavala, Mahuli stram at Aasangaon, Harishchandra Nalichi Vaat, Nagpur, Andharban in Mulshi, Plus valley in Raigad, Dudhsagar in Goa, Baraki waterfall in Kolhapur, Rautwadi waterfall in Kolhapur, Gadeshwar Dam in Panvel and Thoseghar waterfall in Satara.

“We want trekkers to be safe ,” said Pankaj Samel, resident of Dombivli who has been trekking through hills in Maharashtra for the past 16 years. “Most of these locations have either streams or very high waterfalls. Combined with the intensity of rain and cloud cover, the current is very strong during this time, blocking paths made for trekkers.”

Trekkers say most vacationers are unable to gauge the amount of rain at hilltop. (HT)

“At the base of the hills, vacationers or amateur trekkers are not aware of the amount of rain at the hill top. The amount of water that suddenly trickles down becomes dangerous for travellers,” said Samel.

Navi Mumbai resident Utkarsh Erandkar, an experienced trekker with Guerrilla adventures, said, “During vacations, people have the habit of taking pictures at the bottom of waterfalls. Due to heavy rain and the rise in lake, river and stream levels along the Western Ghats, massive rocks and trees are pulled by the current and fall several feet at the base of these waterfalls,” he said.

While these 15 locations might be dangerous, trekkers identified a few locations that are safe during the monsoon. “Rather than going to the hills, vacationers and explorers can go to beaches or even hilly regions like Rajmachi in Sahayadri mountain range, Karnala bird sanctuary in Panvel, Kothaligad (Peth) in Karjat etc., which are relatively very safe,” said Shrikant Pillai, resident of Kandivali and member of Yatri-Sahayadri, who has been an avid trekker for the past two decades.
