Info
Embarking on a journey to lesser-traveled places bring in the greatest joys of discovery!
Khandi Waterfalls located to the north of Pune is one such destination. The waterfall vista is around 35 km from Kanhe Phata and makes a wonderful journey from Kondhwa, Pune to Khandi. The lush greens en route are revitalizing. And the waterfalls can be conveniently reached from both Pune and Mumbai. On your way, you will cross a railway gate, the base village Khandi, and Thokarwadi Dam.
The backwater section offers scenic views and is also a photographer’s favorite. As you reach Khandi Waterfalls, you’d be amazed by the soothing flow of water on the rolling steps. The entire experience is very peaceful.
To enter the waterfall pool there is a nominal charge of INR 100, which is charged by the family that maintains this private place. The waterfall and eternity pool is fun. Take out time to capture your memories with your friends and family. And, don’t forget to soak up the beauty of nature.
For bikers, who embark on reaching Khandi Waterfalls on bike, the journey is both exciting and satisfying. The road conditions are quite average and you’d come across some potholes. Also, remember to carry eatables and bottled water as there are very few food options en route. However, you may find that odd dhaba where you can enjoy both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.
The best time to visit the place is during monsoon. The rains bring in lush greenery and it feels good to enjoy the stunning waterfalls, hills with greenery, trees, water streams and windmills.
Trekkers – you’d also find some wonderful trekking options here. And, campers, this is a great place for a campfire with your besties.

This place wonderful and must visit during monsoon. There are numerous waterfalls in this area. Be mindful during the visit as it gets very much crowded during weekends. The entire drive from Kanhe to Khandi is amazing.
The waterfall is awesome especially in the monsoon. There is a man made pond exactly below the waterfall where one can bath and have lots of fun. There a dhaba there to enjoy some vegetarian and non vegetarian food.
It was amazing waterfall bathing experience. Water streams all around in the region. Also must take care while going to these kinds of stone lands under waterfalls.
