DEVKUND WATERFALL TREK – BHIRA VILLAGE

* Region: Raigad district

* Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

* Trek Duration: Approx. 6 km one way

In the dense forests of Bhira, near Tamhini Ghat, Devkund is one of Maharashtra’s most alluring hidden waterfalls. The trek to Devkund begins through forest trails laced with ferns, bamboo clusters, and the occasional slippery stream crossing. As you walk alongside the Bhira dam backwaters, the sound of gurgling brooks keeps pace.The highlight, of course, is the waterfall itself—a dramatic plunge of water into a pristine blue pool, set against a natural rock amphitheatre. Though popular, it retains a sense of untouched wilderness if visited early in the day. The waterfall area has seen over-tourism in recent years, so opt for a weekday hike. Ideal for beginners, this trail offers a great introduction to monsoon trekking without overwhelming your senses, or your knees.
