Tamhini Ghat
ताम्हिणी घाट
A Western Ghats mountain pass road west of Mulshi Lake; during the monsoon, waterfalls cover the cliffs along the route, making it Pune's most popular monsoon drive.
The road runs from Pune via Mulshi, crosses the Western Ghats and descends to the Konkan coast. The most scenic stretch is near Tamhini village. During monsoon season, clouds roll through the mountains and waterfalls large and small pour down along the road, and visitors can wade in the shallow streams beside it. Weekend self-drives and motorbike trips are very popular. In heavy rain, falling rocks and traffic restrictions sometimes occur, so watch for local notices about waterfall areas that are closed to visitors. It can be combined with Mulshi Lake as a day trip.
