How To Reach Bhor Ghat

Khandala, Maharashtra, India
Historical and Engineering Marvel: Bhor Ghat, also known as Bor Ghat or Bhore Ghaut, is a mountain pass that holds immense historical and engineering significance. It is one of the crucial connections between the Deccan Plateau (Pune) and the Konkan Coast (Mumbai), carving a path through the massive Sahyadri mountain range. The sheer scale of the construction, especially the railway line which was completed in 1863 by the British to facilitate trade and movement, is a testament to 19th-century engineering prowess. The pass has been a major trade route since ancient times, later adapted for modern road and rail networks. A Symbiotic Network of Transport: Today, the ghat is defined by three parallel transport corridors: the historic railway line (Mumbai-Chennai mainline), the old Mumbai-Pune Highway (NH-48), and the modern Mumbai-Pune Expressway (Yashwantrao Chavan Mumbai-Pune Expressway). Driving through the ghat offers varying, spectacular views of deep valleys, tunnels, and numerous cascading waterfalls during the monsoon. The experience of ascending or descending the ghat is a major attraction in itself, with its thrilling hairpin bends and rapid change in altitude.

How to Reach

By Air: Nearest airports are Pune International Airport (PNQ), approx. 75 KMs to the east, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai (BOM), approx. 95 KMs to the west. A taxi is the only option from the airport to the ghat.

By Train: The Bhor Ghat railway section is part of the main Mumbai-Pune line. The nearest major station is Lonavala (LNL), approx. 7 KMs from the upper section of the ghat. The lower section is near Khopoli station.

By Road: By far the most common way. It is the route of the Mumbai-Pune Expressway (E-way) and the Old NH-48. Drive or hire a car/bus. The ghat is clearly marked and easily accessible from both Mumbai and Pune.

By Local Transport: Local taxis or private transport from Khandala or Lonavala can be hired to take you to specific viewpoints within the ghat section. Auto-rickshaws can also ply the old highway but are generally avoided for the Expressway.
