About Malshejghat Tourism

Malshejghat is a hill station and also a popular tourist spot located in the Pune District of Maharashtra. Malshejghat is surrounded by covers of dense green forests and the Western Ghats, which is why there are many varieties of flora and fauna available here. One of the rare attractions of this place is the Flamingos that can be seen near the areas of the Monsoon lakes. Malshejghat offers opportunities for adventure sports like trekking, hiking and boating, as the region is located at a height of 700 metres above sea level. The Shivneri Fort located here is one of the most popular ancient attractions of the place. The Shivneri Fort is located about 40 kilometres from the central region, and is the birthplace of the Maratha ruler Shivaji. The region of Malshejghat also includes many Buddhist caves that belong to the 3rd century and Shri Vigneshwar Temple, which is situated near Junnar town at Ozar. Monsoons are considered to be the best time to visit Malshejghat because the hills are covered in green during this time. The weather of the region is mild from the months of August and September. The region becomes misty during the winters especially the forest regions. It is during the same time most of the bird watchers come here to conduct researches on rare varieties of birds such as Quails, Rails, Crakes, Flamingos, Cuckoos, etc. The hill station of Malshejghat is managed by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation also known as MTDC, which also manages several resorts. Not much transport facilities are available that directly connect this hill station and it is because of this reason that the region receives very less visitors compared to other hill stations of India. There is no domestic or international airport in Malshejghat and the nearest one is located in Pune, which is located at a distance of 98 kilometres from the town of Malshejghat. The Pune airport connects nine other major cities of India to the region. Malshejghat does not have a train station either, and the nearest train station is in Mumbai, located at a distance of 115 kilometres from Malshejghat. There are three train stations in the Mumbai region and that are Mumbai, Mumbai CST and Mumbai Bandra terminus. Read More >>

"Drive Malshej...."

Posted by Rajesh
Apr 17, 2013

Malshejghat Experience: Hilly place getting foggy in the evening and morning. Many waterfalls one can enjoy the water falling on your head. You can enjoy local fruits like mulberry at the MTDC counters and local villages very very sweet and tasty... just like Mahabaleshwar.....

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Local Dhabas have tasty food and MTDC restaurant is available for food any time.

Activities & things to do: Morning and Evening walks in the green woods. Can get wet under the water falls getting natural head massage.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: From Mumbai you have to reach Kalyan (ie. 50 km from Mumbai by Road or by Local Train) from Kalyan you have to take Murbad Road and take a drive for 60 kms you will reach Malshej Ghat.

"MalshejGhat Experience !"

Posted by SUDHIR

Mar 09, 2013

Malshejghat Experience: We had a good experience in MalShej Ghat. The Clouds were floating very low and the the MTDC Hotel location the sight was awesome. We visited this location on Nov 2010 during Diwali and the climate has been excellent. One needs careful while walking at night cause occasionally one may encounter snakes. Pimpalgaon Dam and Shivneri Fort are at drivable distance.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: MTDC food is reasonably ok at Malshej ! There are no other nearby restaurants so options are less.

Activities & things to do: Enjoy the nature . Breathtaking Malshej Ghat View because the MTDC Resort is at the top exactly where the Ghat almost ends

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: From Bhandup (Mumbai) we drove to MTDC Malshej , distance around 110 kms and to approx 2 hrs.

"Truly Grand Canyon of Maharashtra"

Posted by Kishore

Feb 27, 2013

Malshejghat Experience: Malshej Ghat is truly a 'Grand Canyon' of Maharashtra. It is one of the nearest hill station from Mumbai and Pune and have its own charm during monsoon. But other time is also it is an experience one should take at least once. From Borivali, it is about 130 kms. and driving is also enjoyable on the smooth winding roads once you are on the highway.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: This is not a place for shopping though there are some sight seeing points. Ideally a place for a night out on week ends with friends and family to unwind and rejuvenate for the next stressful week.

Activities & things to do: No activities unless you try for rock climbing.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: From Thane take the Bhiwandi bypass and take the right turn towards Kalyan. Take the left turn from Durgadi fort and vis Shahad - Murbad dirve towards Malshej Ghat. There are S.T. buses available from Thane, Bhiwandi and Kaslyan. Carry your 'Hot stuff' for the party.
