Grade: Easy | Endurance: Easy
Malshej ghat is a spectacle throughout the year. Before the road was constructed, walking up and down the hill was the only mode of transport for the villagers. Hence, this route is considered ancient. It has a carving of Lord Ganesha, water cisterns and occasional rock cut steps. Most of the route is covered in a canopy of green.
This route also has a few historical references during the time of war with the Portuguese. At the end of this route, we move to another trail, one that moves alongside a gushing Kalu river, fiercely meandering through during the monsoons. We walk as close to the waterfall as possible, generally possible only to a distance of 1.5 kms away from the base because of the massive flow of the river which is an impediment for crossing the river. Besides the Kalu Waterfall, you'll also get to see an unknown waterfall to the right, hidden in a gorge, nonetheless spectacular.
