Naneghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range near Junnar in Pune district. During the reign of the Satvahana (200 BCE-190 CE), the pass was extensively used as a trade route between Kalyan and Junnar. Literally, the name nane means "coin" and ghat means "pass". The name was given because this path was used as a toll booth to collect toll from traders crossing the hills. The location is ideal for star gazing and star photography. Naneghat offers different beauty in different seasons. In summer and winter, when there are no clouds, view of Jivdhan and Dhakoba is awesome. It can easily be reached by motorable road.
