The Naneghat Reverse Waterfall Trek, located in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, is a captivating trek known for its unique reverse waterfall phenomenon. Situated near Junnar, approximately 120 kilometers from Mumbai and 165 kilometers from Pune, Naneghat is a historic mountain pass that served as an ancient trade route during the Satavahana dynasty.
The trek is moderately challenging, covering around 4 to 5 kilometers one way, and typically takes 4 to 5 hours to complete. Trekkers start from the base village and ascend through varied terrains, including ancient stone steps carved into the mountainside, lush forests, and rocky patches. The trek is especially rewarding during the monsoon season (June to September), when the region is at its greenest and the waterfalls are most spectacular.
The highlight of the trek is the Naneghat Reverse Waterfall, a natural wonder where strong winds push the waterfall’s flow upwards, creating the illusion of a waterfall flowing in reverse. This stunning phenomenon is best observed during heavy rains when the wind and water conditions are just right.
Besides the reverse waterfall, the trek offers panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and hills, as well as historical sites such as caves with ancient Brahmi inscriptions. These elements add a cultural and historical dimension to the trekking experience.
Trekkers are advised to wear sturdy footwear, carry rain gear, and ensure they have sufficient water and snacks. Hiring a local guide is recommended for safety and to gain deeper insights into the historical and natural significance of Naneghat. The Naneghat Reverse Waterfall Trek combines adventure, natural beauty, and historical intrigue, making it a must-visit for trekking enthusiasts.

The trek is almost 6-7 Km.
The equal and opposing gravity’s force and wind’s pull keep the stream from hitting the ground. Since the airflow is heavy in the other direction, the rising wind sweeps up the stream in the opposite direction, creating a natural marvel and earning it the fame of being hailed as a spectacular waterfall in India.
