Maharashtra has been gifted with the Sahyadri ranges. This range is well populated with many forts (thanks to our ancestors). These forts offer us a chance to observe the beauty of nature, skills of our ancestors and allow us to add a little thrill to our life. There are numerous such forts in the vicinity of Thane and Pune which are ideal for an one day or two day trek, to name some are Raj Machi, Harischandragad, Mahuli, Nane Ghat, Dhak Bahari. etc

Serving as a trade route for the transport between markets of Kalyan, Nalasopara (Konkan) and Junnar (Plateau) since the times of  Satvahanas, this pass today offers you one of the most enjoyable treks in the vicinity of Mumbai

Nane Ghat is situated at about 55 Km from Kalyan. One can reach the base village Vaishakare by boarding the state transport bus passing through Malshej Ghat. From Vaishakare it's about 1/2 a hour walk along the road to Malshej Ghat to reach the divergence for Nane Ghat. Now there is board indicating the divergence so there will be no difficulty in finding the divergence. Once a divergence is taken, it is about 2-3 hours climb to the summit.

This is the pass that has been serving loyally for the trade between Nalasopara, Kalyan and Junnar. It takes one to a different world when one realizes that he actually is at a  pass made in pre Christian era.Naneghat offers different beauty in different seasons. In summer and winter, when there are no clouds, view of Jivdhan and Dhakoba is a real pleasure.
