A 6 kilometer trek from Bhira village, passing through a dense forest and crossing multiple river streams, will lead you to the magnificent Devkund Waterfall. Also known as the pond of gods, the plunging waterfall creates a picture-perfect pond surrounded by abundant greenery and glorious hill ranges. Perfect spot for one-day trips around Pune and Mumbai, Devkund offers a green escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Whether you're seeking a thrilling trek to test your endurance, a camping site surrounded by splendid views, or a picnic zone for a laid-back time with friends and family, Devkund waterfall ticks all the boxes.
Around 100 km from Pune and 125 km from Mumbai, the magnificent waterfall is in Mangaon, Raigad District. Although there are multiple ways to reach Devkund by train and bus, the best and quickest way is by car. Once you've made it to the starting point of the trek, parked your car, and registered at the entrance, the trail begins. You can hire a local guide or explore using the sign boards for directions.
After two or three hours of hiking through water streams, open fields, and rocky mountains, the trek finally ends with a rugged path revealing the breathtaking waterfall. Roaring sounds of the water falling from 80 feet into a pond below fills the atmosphere. While swimming in the pond is prohibited, basking in the sight of the glorious waterfall is just as rewarding.
