Begin your day with a refreshing trek to Bhivpuri Waterfall. The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and is an ideal place to relax and unwind. The 1-hour trek from the base village to the waterfall is a bit challenging but totally worth it for the stunning views of nature.
Next, visit the ancient Kondana Caves, located in the midst of the serene Sahyadri mountain range. These caves are known for their exquisite rock-cut architecture and are a perfect blend of history and nature. The caves are believed to be carved out in the 2nd century BCE, and feature Buddhist stupas and chaitya-grihas.
After exploring the caves, head to Kailash Parbat Karjat for a delicious vegetarian lunch. The restaurant serves a wide range of Indian and Chinese dishes, and is known for its chaat and thali. The restaurant has a pleasant ambience with indoor and outdoor seating options.
Post lunch, visit the Peth Fort, also known as Kothaligad Fort. The fort is located on a hill and offers a panoramic view of the surrounding region. The fort has a small temple and a cave, and is a popular spot for trekking enthusiasts. The trek to the top takes around 45 minutes and is an easy one.
End your day on a peaceful note by visiting the Ulhas Valley. The valley is known for its picturesque views of hills, waterfalls, and lush greenery. Take a leisurely walk around the valley and enjoy the scenic beauty of the place. The valley is particularly beautiful during monsoons, with the waterfalls in full flow.
If you have time, you can also visit the Karjat Dam, Bhor Ghat, and the Matheran Hill Station. To maximise your fun, hire a local guide who can show you some hidden gems of the region. You can also try some adventure activities like zip-lining, rock climbing, and rappelling.
