Karoli Ghat & Sandhan Valley, Bhandardara - Best Season to Visit, Things to Do

At a distance of 28 km from Bhandardara, and 61 km from Igatpuri, Karoli Ghat is a mountain ghat located near Bhandardara. It is one of the most scenic monsoon treks in Maharashtra, and among the must-include places in Bhandardara tour packages.

Karoli Ghat serves as a route connecting Samrad Village to Dehne Village, utilized by locals for trading purposes during both winter and summer seasons. This picturesque trail boasts numerous small and large waterfalls, enchanting jungle paths, river streams, and other breathtaking natural sights. Running parallel to the base camping area of Sandhan Valley, this ghat offers a unique experience to those who traverse it.

Sandhan Valley, a 200-foot deep and 3-km long water-carved valley near Samrad village, lies on the western side of the stunning Bhandardara region. The valley remains inaccessible during the monsoon due to the risk of flooding caused by heavy water flow in its narrow confines. The allure of this valley during the rainy season remains largely unexplored, akin to a hidden mystery. Visitors can witness a 700-foot reverse waterfall from the top and later while descending through Karoli Ghat.

Embarking on the Karoli Ghat Trek presents one with an adventurous journey, especially during the monsoon in Maharashtra. Satisfy your thirst for adventure in the valley by engaging in activities such as river crossing, rappelling, rock climbing, and cliff jumping. Moreover, trekking amidst the lush greenery, with majestic clouds enveloping the dark, dense jungle and the mist-shrouded Sahyadri Mountain Range, offers a memorable experience that one will cherish for a lifetime.
