Experience: We took the route via Bhor. Personally, I like this route very much. We had planned a one day trip and after spending most of the time enjoying the views of Varandha ghat, we realized that we would not get much time at Raigad. It is my favourite among all the forts in Maharshtra therefore i insisted for a short visit & it was worth it......
Niradevghar Dam
Waterfall in the ghats (just before Waghzai)
Waghzai Temple in Varandha ghat
