Junnar Taluka and Otur are located in the rain-shadow and mountain borders of the Western Ghats, making them prime locations for spectacular monsoon waterfalls. If you are looking for a weekend drive from Pune, here are the top cascades you must visit:
The king of waterfalls in Malshej. Its massive height and foggy valley views make it an unforgettable trekking destination. Hire a local guide for safety when approaching the pool trail.
Located right inside Khireshwar village, this beautiful natural cascade flows down clean rocky steps, making it very safe and enjoyable for families and children to play in the water.
As you drive up the Kalyan-Ahmednagar highway, you will pass multiple waterfalls flowing directly over the road arches. These are easily accessible without any trekking.
If you are looking for hotels with parking and dining facilities close to these waterfalls, River Side Resort and Stay in Khireshwar is centrally located. We serve fresh hot Maharashtrian breakfast and lunch to day-trippers.
