Nanemachi Waterfall Trek with Satsada Waterfall, from Mumbai and Pune
1 Night 1 Day | Easy Grade | Raigad District, Maharashtra | Best in Monsoon (June to September)
About the Nanemachi Waterfall Trek
The Nanemachi Waterfall is one of the most spectacular monsoon waterfalls in Maharashtra, tucked deep inside the dense forests of the Raigad district near Mahad. Plunging around 400 feet down a forested rock face into a deep blue pool, Nanemachi stays hidden from the regular tourist trail, which is exactly what makes it special. The pool shifts through shades of blue and green as the daylight changes, giving the spot an almost magical feel during the monsoon.
This is a waterfall discovery trek built for people who want raw, untouched nature without a punishing climb. The trail winds through thick green forest and gentle stream crossings, and on the same day you also visit the nearby Satsada Waterfall, making it a full two-waterfall monsoon experience from a single trip. It is an easy-grade trek that is perfect for first-timers, families, and anyone chasing the green-season Sahyadris.

Is the Nanemachi Waterfall trek easy or difficult? The Nanemachi Waterfall trek is an easy-grade trek of 3 to 4 km round trip, taking about one hour to reach the falls from the base village.

What is the best time to visit Nanemachi Waterfall? The best time to visit Nanemachi Waterfall is the monsoon, from June to September, when the falls run at full flow and the forest is lush green.
