Naneghat is a mountain pass situated at an elevation of 2600 feet. The trek is famous for its ancient pass, which connects the Konkan Coast and Junnar town. Naneghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range near Junnar in the Pune district of Maharashtra. While going through Malshej Ghat, we can easily get a glimpse of Naneghat after Murbad. Nane means "coin" and ghat means "pass". This path was used as a toll booth to collect tolls from traders crossing the hills. The inscriptions in the caves indicate that the Satavahana dynasty ruled here and also the Mauryan Empire. We can approach Naneghat via Vaishakhare or Dandya.
History of Naneghat Pass
During the reign of the Satavahana, the pass was extensively used as a trade route between Kalyan and Junnar. This was the most important trade route, connecting the Sopara harbour (now Nalasopara) and Kalyan directly to Junnar and Paithan. Bor Ghat, Malshej Ghat, and Naneghat were the foremost road links for commuting from the coast to the Junnar plateau. The Satvaahans had made Naneshat their main route to Junnar. During their tenure, the most important way of commuting was Naneghat, which linked Kalyan & Sopara to Pathan. However, as time proceeded, it was destroyed by alien rulers and then paid no attention.
Naneghat Trekking
Once you reach the Naneghat trekking point, a proper trail takes you to Naneghat. This trail is pretty easy and is five kilometres. The long Naneghat trekking point just startson the Ahmednagar-Kalyan road. The trail passes through some patchy forest and mostly dry terrains. When you reach towards the end of the trek, you will see a high point in front of you. You will have to climb to the hilltop.
