The 5 Best Monsoon Treks in Maharashtra

As the first drops of rain hit the dry earth of Maharashtra, something extraordinary begins to unfold. Dusty hills transform into lush, emerald carpets. Hidden streams reawaken with vigour. The air thickens with petrichor, and the Western Ghats come alive. Monsoons in Maharashtra are more than just a season—they are a phenomenon. This curated list of the best monsoon treks in Maharashtra promises unforgettable experiences not just for adventure lovers but for every kind of traveller.

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.
