AHUPE GHAT

Ahupe Ghat is a pass connecting Khopiwali in the Konkan region and Ahupe village in the ghats.




This is a gentle pass which connect the DEHRI-KHOPIVLI in the Konkan to AHUPE village on the Ghats. It is a lovely climb through thick forest. It has a good connecting track to DAMDAMIA, BHIMASHANKAR in the south and DURGA-KILLA, DHAKOBA in the north.



Trekking through this ghat is not laborious. The trek passes through thick forest and is ideal for one day hike especially in the monsoons, with picturesque views from the top. The edges of this ghat drop vertically to the Konkan and there are many narrow gorges, with breathtaking drops.



In the monsoons, it hosts waterfalls all around and gushing streams in the gorges. This ghat has good track to Damdamia, Bhimashankar in the south and Durga-Killa, Dhaokoba in the north. There is a direct passage from Dehri to Gorakhgad through the Ahupe Ghat.



The base village for this year-round tourist destination is Ahupe in Pune District in Maharashtra.
