Varandha Ghat
Pune–Raigad corridor · Monsoon Trails
The Varandha pass connects Bhor town to Mahad on the Konkan coast. Monsoon transforms the escarpment into a wall of cloud; waterfalls streak the basalt beside the road after every shower.
Combine with Mahad’s historic links to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, or continue to Raigad fort for a heritage monsoon weekend from Pune.
