Nane Ghat (2750 feet)
Date: February 7, 2010.
Time – 3 hours one way
Serving as a trade route for the transport between markets of Kalyan, Nalasopara (Konkan) and Junnar (Plateau) since the times of Satvahanas. 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.
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.
