Hello Friends,
"DURGMITRA" has organised a Monsoon Trek to "Naneghat" near Malshej ghat on 21st July 2013, Sunday.
Naneghat :-
Naneghat or Nanacha Angtha is a name, which just pops up in ones mind when one is looking for a nice weekend outing. As one drives down the Kalyan-Ahmednagar highway, one just cannot miss a prominent thumb shaped pinnacle offering an imposing façade just at the beginning of Malshej ghat, a very popular picnic spot for Mumbaikars in monsoons. This pinnacle is called as Nanacha Anghta, which in marathi means Grandpa’s thumb, due to it peculilar shape resembling a thumb.
The name Naneghat also has an interesting history. In ancient days, when this pass a busy trade oute, the toll was collected in the form of coins (known as nane in marathi). The commuter would drop in a coin or nane in a large stone container (called as ranjan in marathi) which is place at the mouth of the ghat; hence the name.Serving as a trade route for the transport between markets of Kalyan, Nalasopara (Konkan) and Junnar (Plateau) since the times of Satvahanas, this pass today offers you one of the most enjoyable treks in the vicinity of Mumbai.
