Nane Ghat is a pass that is situated at a height of 2750 feet above Msl. In order to get here you have to catch a train to Kalyan. From Kalyan catch a ST bus to Murbad. From Murbad take another bus Tokavade. There are rickshaws available at Tokavade which will take you to the divergence for Nane ghat. The climb to the top will take about 3 hours. On the way you will come across a temple, seen alongside. There are water cisterns available at the top. Nane Ghat served as a trade route between Junnar, Kalyan and Nallasopara. The ghat probably got its name from the fact there is a Ranjan for toll collection. There is a cave at the top which can accommodate 30 people in summer and winter & about 20 in rainy season( strong winds bring the rain in the cave). The pass that is seen in the picture was made more than 2000 years ago!!!
