Naneghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range near Junnar in Pune district of Maharashtra, India. During the reign of the Satavahana (200 BCE–190 CE), the pass was extensively used as a trade route between Kalyan and Junnar. Literally, the name nane means "coin" and ghat means "pass". The name is given because this path was used as a tollbooth to collect toll from traders crossing the hills (in picture, you see that toll collection pot carved out of rock!! and the pass)
We were a group of 30+ and enjoyed a lot with more treks, visit to the nearby falls, climbing on to that cliff you see in the pictures...rappelling etc.
