What Makes It Awesome?

Kune Waterfalls is one of the most gorgeous waterfalls in whole of Maharashtra, and the best time to visit is during mid-monsoon. Enveloped in lush green forests, Kune Falls is a three-tier waterfall that cascades down the hilly terrains of Sahyadris from a height of 200 metres.

The place attracts a lot of tourists during the rainy season. We hear swimming and bathing at the footfall is allowed and safe when there are no heavy rains; so make sure you carry extra clothes. The falls can be a bit ferocious during heavy rainfall, so ensure you're checking the weather before heading out. After all, you want to have a safe trip.

The falls are close to Lonavala, so there's a lot to do around. While you’re at Kune, we recommend you also check out the quaint Kune Church and eat at Triose Plaza, which is full of eateries like Cream Stone, Kareem’s, Chaat Cafe and more. This is ideal for a one-day road trip in the monsoon season.

Pro Tip

The waterfall is situated centrally between Lonavala-Khandala valley in Kune village, which is about two hours from Pune if you’re taking the Pune-Mumbai highway. With a height of 660 feet, Kune Falls is the 14th highest waterfall in India.
