NaneghatWhile going through Malshej Ghat, we can easily get a glimpse of Naneghat after Murbad. The i ifi l h d h b lik k d h i l f V d li i h di i lsignificantly shaped thumb‐like peak and the pinnacle of Vandarlingi are the most distinctly seen spots. This was the most  important trade route, as it connected harbour of Sopara and Kalyandirectly to Junnar and Paithan. The name itself suggests that it was a famous and significant 

route. “Nane” means famous. Today it is a good trekking spot for trekkers and tourists.

Bor Ghat, Malshej Ghat and Naneghat were the foremost road links for commuting coast to the plateau. The Satvaahans had made Naneghat their main route to Junnar. During their tenure the most important way of commuting was Naneghat, which linked Kalyan & Sopara to Paithan. Today one has to reach Junnar by going all the way through Malshej which is a big round ButToday one has to reach Junnar by going all the way through Malshej, which is a big round. But Naneghat had much reduced distance and was a definitely shorter route. However, as time 

proceeded, it was destroyed by alien rulers and then paid no attention.

The first thing we can see after reaching Naneghat is the spacious cave of Naneghat The ancientThe first thing we can see after reaching Naneghat is the spacious cave of Naneghat. The ancient carvings, which are seen on the walls of the cave, remind us of the Satvaahan period. Here we find inscriptions in Brahmi script all over the cave. These indicate the magnificent era of the Satvaahans and their generosity. These inscriptions are gradually being destroyed, and only a 

part of it is remaining. The inscriptions are very precious, and are undergoing destruction due to the negligence of Archeology. The widely spread plateau of Naneghat is an astonishment. To the left the steps besides the cave lead us to the plateau and going to the right lead us to Nana's 

thumb. After climbing all the way to the bottom of the thumb, when we climb the stairs, we do not expect a big plateau. Thus this route leads directly to a higher altitude quickly, unlike 

Malshej Ghat which goes all around the mountains Ate the entrance to the Ghat is a big stoneMalshej Ghat, which goes all around the mountains. Ate the entrance to the Ghat is a big stone‐made vessel like thing, in which coins as toll were put.

crown amidst hills turned mauve.
