ONE DAY MONSOON HIKE TO NANEGHAT (ANCIENT TRADE ROUTE)

About the place: Naneghat

Pack your bags leave the world behind. Let the clouds show you the trail. And in no time you will find yourself surrounded by a million waterfalls. That is Naneghat for you. Clouds blocking the rays of the Sun. Blue sky turning gray. Coldwater and breeze rushing across your face. And the weather turning you into a poet. What's so special about this place? Scenes like these, make you wonder if you really long to go back to hills, or stick with the Monsoons. Maybe you just need to live in the moment. And follow your bliss.

Naneghat, also referred to as Nanaghat or Nana Ghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range between the Konkan coast and the ancient town of Junnar in the Deccan plateau. The pass is about 120 kilometers north of Pune and about 165 kilometers east of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It was a part of an ancient trading route, and is famous for a major cave with Hindu Sanskrit inscriptions in Brahmi script These inscriptions have been dated between the 2nd and the 1st century BCE, and attributed to the Satavahana dynasty era The inscriptions are notable for linking the Vedic and Vaishnavism deities, mentioning some Vedic srauta rituals and of names that provide historical information about the ancient Satavahanas. The inscriptions present the world's oldest numeration symbols for "2, 4, 6, 7, and 9" that resemble modern era numerals, more closely those found in modern Nagari and Hindu-Arabic script.
