Had a great trek. This trek is easy actually than it looks. Started at midnight and climbed the hill around 6:30am. The view surrounding the place was awesome. Try to spot the Bollywood star Salman Khan's farmhouse, it's clearly visible.

I went to this place with my friends. It can be accessed from Sakwar village and you can get some local guides from the village itself. But we didn't took the help of the local guides. It took us around 3 hours to reach the top. You can enjoy beautiful scenery on the way up the mountain. Though the climb is not too challenging. It is advisable to carry good trekking shoes, enough water ( 4-5 litres) and food with you. Rainy season is the best time to do this trek. In some places there were arrows marked on the rocks to indicate the right way.

"Exploration is the essence of Human Spirit"....... Exploring Jawhar...... the Land of Waterfalls.....@ 6am at 10 degree..... cascading down from a height of 300 feet,.......... into a crater shaped bowl. The view of water rushing through dense forests and forming the waterfall is glorious! I visited this place in Jan 2019..... very easy to find..... just 5-10 kms away for town.... really beautiful.... one can down up to the waterfall basin.... there are some activities also there.... in rainy seasons it is very dangerous but the view is breathtaking....... there is a hotel located near to the waterfall..... best time to reach there is at the morning before sunrise or just around sunrise...... it best to take some food with you.... the way down is good as the steps are maintained but due to landslides, some parts are broken........ You can reach by car as well as a bike.... there is no entrance fees....

Visited this place on 2nd Sep'19. The place is located near Hanuman mandir and have some benches where you can sit and see the vast green fields while enjoying the cool breeze. It was a little humid but soon we witnessed drizzles which made the experience really nice. You can also get a nice view of Jai Vilas Palace from here. Since this place is accessible via any mode of transport so suitable for family with members from all ages.

Tungareshwar is located at Vasai. One has to hire some vehicle or take a bus to reach this destination. There is approx 1-2hrs of trek to reach the temple. The forest is wide, dense & safe. The best time to visit is during Monsoons. But one has to be careful as the steps are sometimes slippery. There is also a waterfall on top. One can buy tea, coffee & other food items in between.
