Kune Falls
Lonavala-Khandala, the twin hill stations in Maharashtra are the most visited hill stations near Mumbai and Pune. In the very middle of Lonavla-Khandala valley, a milky gush of water can be sighted which has a total height of 659 ft. This waterfall called Kune falls is a three tiered cascade which can be seen when we travel from Mumbai to Pune while coming out of the last tunnel. This is on the old Mumbai-Pune highway and not on the Mumbai-Pune express way. It is a beautiful sight as one sees this waterfall after coming out of the last tunnel to enter lonavala while travelling from mumbai to pune.
How to Reach
For reaching the spectacular Kune Falls, take the Mumbai-Pune expressway and leave it at the Lonavala bypass to take the old Mumbai-Pune highway. A short 10 minutes drive takes you to the Kune Falls. An important landmark for reaching the falls is the Kune missionary/church which is just a few steps from the location of the falls. Dudhsagar Water Falls
Forget the beaches and the normal Goa stuff .... this is the place to visit when in goa or neighbouring areas of karnataka! set bang on the Karnataka -Goa border ... The Dudhsagar waterfalls is a heaven for adventure seekers. Rainy season makes it a milky white fall when water plunges deep down from a 1020 ft height and a width of 100 ft making its name literally true, ‘Sea of Milk’. This spellbound waterfall is on the beautiful Mandovi River in the state of Goa. This waterfall can be viewed when we travel on train through Londa-Madgoan railway route in Delhi-Goa express, Pune-Ernakulam Express or Miraj Castle Rock passenger. The waterfall located in the middle of tropical forest is situated 60 Km from Margoa and 10 kilometers from Kulem Railway Station. Although this waterfall is in Goa, this is a popular picnic spot for most of the Maharashtrians. Climbing to the top of the falls is really an adventurous task and a breathtaking view of the falls from the top is only for adventurous people. India’s largest wildlife sanctuary, Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary is a popular place to visit near this falls.
