*Main entry to the dam is closed due to Covid19. One can access the backwater.

                        ‘Kyu daarein zindagi me kya hoga,

                                    Kuch nahi hoga to tajurba hoga’

Our idea of exploring unseen spots leads us to above points. And it was failed mission. Jagtap & Bendewadi water fall was closed due to less water and Covid19 where as access to dam was denied due to Covid19.

But in route to these points we saw few beautiful location and we enjoyed that.

 

Jagtap water fall. Located at a distance of 58kms from Pune and about 120 kms from Mumbai, these waterfalls between Mau Village and Khandi village near Pune are not very popular but are worth a visit in Monsoon. From Pune : Take the Old Pune-Mumbai Highway and at Kanhe Phata (after Dehu Road and Vadgaon), take a left turn at Kanhe Phata (there is an Arc (Khaman)) on the road indicating the place. Travel for 13kms passing Jambul, Takawe Budruk, Falne and 3 kms after Mau village, you will find Jagtap Waterfalls on the road side.

The 13kms stretch from Kanhe Phata, the road has potholes at intermittent places but it is travelable in Monsoon.

The nearest railway station is Kanhe at a distance of 13 kms from the first waterfall near Mau Village.

Nearest Airport is at Pune which is at a distance of 58 kms from the waterfalls.

The display board at the entrance to the Jagtap waterfalls says it is for 'families only'. There is also a charge for entering into the waterfall area. Parking facilities are available.

Bendewadi water fall & Thokarwadi dam are very near to Jagtap water fall and can be done in 1 day.
