NaneGhat Pass - 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.
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
