Overview

Diksal Waterfall Trek

The Diksal Waterfall Trek is one of the easiest and most scenic monsoon treks near Mumbai — a short, beginner-friendly trail to a beautiful 115-foot waterfall near Bhivpuri, in the Karjat region. It's just about an hour's gentle walk from Bhivpuri railway station, making it perfect for first-time trekkers, families, and anyone wanting a quick, refreshing escape into the Sahyadris during the rains.

The trail winds beside the Bhivpuri lake and crosses a small stream before reaching the falls, with lovely panoramic views along the way. The waterfall lies just below the small village of Saguchiwadi, from where the popular Garbett Plateau trek can also be reached. From the top of the village, you get a stunning view of the Matheran range in the distance.
