Ahupe
Ghat is a pass leading from Khopiwali in the Konkan, to Ahupe village in the
Ghats. Ahupe village is at a height of about 3855 ft. The Ghat drops vertically
to the Konkan all around Ahupe, and there are many narrow gorges, with
breathtaking drops. the route from Khopiwali to Ahupe, near its upper reaches,
is very narrow, and almost a gorge.

Ahupe
village is very picturesque. It looks like a remote hamlet because on one side,
is the steep drop to the Konkan, and on the remaining three sides, there is a
mountain range enclosing it, cutting it off from the Deccan plateau proper.
This is a pleasant
one day hike with rather dramatic views from the top.
Devrai
- The Sacred Groves of Maharashtra. These Devrais are nothing but religiouly
preserved forest patches. Ahupe near Bhimashankar has such Devrai - protected
by faith of nearby tribal people "Mahadeo Kolis".
Ahupe
Forest and its people the Mahadeo Kolis make up for a damn interesting story as
most Devrai's have fallen to Axe of the greedy, Ahupe Devrai is a success
story.
If
fact in last 3 to 4 year they have planted several thousand trees that are
growing well. The Mahadeo Kolis are also inspired by a local Vet. doctor who is
very actively involved with them. They have also constructed small spring water
water tanks with clean water for trekkers and pilgrims to drink. Water holes
for animals.. Indeed a success story..
