Heaven during rainy season... This place can be explored by public transport as well but it will be too tiresome... . Options... A. Get down at Kalyan West railway station & catch any msrtc bus going to Junnar, Alephata etc... B. Direct vehicle Two wheeler or Four wheeler or TT ( as per count of people) 1. Near proximity to Mumbai & Thane 2. Journey takes approx 4hrs from Mumbai - Thane 3. Considering the rainy season roads up to malshej That is in good condition but after malshej road conditions up to few kms is pathetic 4. Plan well, leave early and try to reach before 10:30am. This will ensure that you won't get Mumbai & thane traffic and Malshej ghat will be less crowded 5. Carry some dry snacks 6. Try to hire a vehicle or traveling by own car then try to have driver on rental basis. This will ensure that you enjoy the scenery & driver takes care of vehicle & parking 7. There are specific spots & parking bays where you can park the vehicle & enjoy the waterfall. Such locations are when you are ascending the Ghat, in between the Ghat and even at the descent. 8. Local police are cooperative and their expectations are simple - don't drink and drive, carry all the documents, don't park the vehicles anywhere and create congestion in the Ghat and there are specific landslide zones and parking is restricted so avoid parking there else a fine up to 15k can be imposed 9. Carry 2-3 pairs of dry fit clothes and avoid consumption of alcohol in open places. 10. There are number of places where you can plan your stay. Just Google it.. there are MTDC options as well but should be booked well in advance 12. Food preparation around this region is very spicy hence plz tell your preference to the hotel guy in advance so that it can be cooked accordingly 11. On the way to malshej there are many highway style dhabas / hotels. We stopped at Samadhan which was decent. 12. Since we went to Junnar as well we had our meals in hotel Amantran & food was awesome. It was a great hospitality from the owner...

The scenic view in the road trip to malshej ghat was awesome. And during rain you can see the clouds on the road which was amazing.

Magnificent waterfalls, lush greenery, rolling hills, and secluded beaches — places to visit in Malshej Ghat come in various forms. Malshej Ghat, a spectacular mountain pass in the Western Ghats, is blessed with numerous go to places for city dwellers in Maharashtra.

Like heaven in rainy days. Best to visit in the month of August.

Malshej Ghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India. It is known for its scenic beauty, especially during the monsoon season when lush greenery and waterfalls abound. The ghat is a popular destination for nature lovers and trekkers and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and hills. It's a great place to visit if you enjoy outdoor adventures and want to experience the natural beauty of the Western Ghats

We had heard a lot about Malshej Ghat from various sites, forums and folks around. So, we decided to go on a drive there. But, the experience was disappointing to say the least. The major factor being the road - from around 10 kilometres to Malshej Ghat, there is practically NO ROAD! Please see the photographs I have added in this review. Your car will suffer massively on this 10 km stretch - the car suspension and shock absorbers will take a huge hammering! Actually, potholes make up the road here. During this season, with the rains and no visibility from the view points, there is practically nothing to see here. The waterfalls is there but during heavy rains, it is not easily approachable. There is a very small car parking. That area too is littered with paper cups, plates, wafer packets etc. Requesting the folks visiting this place to please avoid littering. No one would like to visit a place littered with rubbish. You can see evidence of this in the photographs. Moreover, there are very limited options for food and snacks here. Overall, not my choice to go on a road trip.

Waters falls on road side.. Driving inside the clouds.. Magnificient view, cool breeze.. What else do you need? Though roads are bad, I think construction in progress.. Even at 5pm you can't see the road.. Yourself car and evrything else surrounded by car. Drive safely and anyway you would drive slow as the views going to mesmerize your mind.. Never miss it

I had a wonderful weekend visit to Kalu Waterfall. The weather was perfect, making it an ideal time to explore this beautiful destination. The breathtaking views of the waterfall left me amazed. It's definitely a must-visit place!!!
