Pune To Tamhini Ghat One Day Trip

Day 1: Pune – Tamhini Ghat – PuneTamhini Ghat is about 50 to 60 km from Pune, a 1.5 to 2 hour drive via Paud, Mulshi, and the Tamhini ghat road. It is a lush stretch of the Sahyadris in Mulshi taluka, known for its misty hills, roadside waterfalls, Mulshi Dam backwaters, and green valleys, which makes it one of the most loved monsoon getaways from Pune. It is best enjoyed from June to October, when the hills turn green and the waterfalls come alive. 7:00 AM: Depart from Pune Take the Pune-Paud road via Kothrud and Chandni Chowk towards Mulshi. Stop for chai, bhajiya, and a hot breakfast near Paud or Pirangut around 8:00 AM. 9:00 AM: Mulshi Dam and Backwaters Visit the scenic Mulshi Dam on the Mula river. The calm backwaters surrounded by green hills are ideal for photos and a slow walk. Allow about 1 hour. 10:30 AM: Tamhini Ghat Viewpoints Drive along the winding ghat road, with frequent stops at viewpoints for sweeping valley views, mist, and clouds. The views are at their best on clear mornings and during the monsoon. 11:30 AM: Devkund Waterfall (optional) Devkund is a popular waterfall near Bhira, about 60 km from Tamhini, with a short trek. It is best visited in the monsoon, but the trek and water pools can be unsafe in heavy rain, so check local conditions and avoid it if the weather is bad. 1:00 PM: Lunch Have a simple Maharashtrian meal at the dhabas and restaurants near Tamhini or Mulshi. Try pithla bhakri, thali, and local snacks. 2:00 PM: Roadside Waterfalls and Photo Stops Stop at the seasonal waterfalls beside the ghat road. Follow safety rules, do not go into fast-flowing water, and stay away from slippery rocks. 3:30 PM: Pawna Lake or Lonavala Side Stop (optional) Add a quick stop at Pawna Lake or the nearby Lonavala side if time allows, then relax with tea and snacks. 4:30 PM: Return to Pune Drive back via Mulshi and Paud with a tea stop. You should reach Pune around 6:30 to 7:30 PM. Travel Tips Weekends in the monsoon are very crowded, and the Tamhini ghat road can see heavy traffic. Choose a weekday if possible. Roads can be foggy and slippery in heavy rain, so drive carefully and avoid driving after dark. Do not enter waterfalls or fast-flowing water, and obey police and local safety instructions. Some spots may have entry restrictions during heavy rain. Wear grip-friendly footwear, and carry a rain jacket, water, and snacks. Mobile network can be patchy in the ghat sections, so download maps in advance. Avoid littering, and do not leave plastic or food waste at viewpoints and waterfalls. Why Choose This Trip?
