Overview

Kataldhar Waterfall Trek 2023

Kataldhar is a waterfall near Lonavala in Pune district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. This waterfall is not so famous because reaching the valley is somewhat difficult and requires basic trekking experience. Water is not available there for the whole year, but a good amount of water falls during the monsoon season.

Kataldhar Waterfall is located near Rajmachi Fort. To get there, find 3 mango trees on the Rajmachi Trekking route, at which point you can descend the Ulhas valley through dense forest. After reaching Kataldhar Waterfall you will see one eye shaped cave that could easily accommodate 100 people. At this cave, you will see Rajmachi Fort (Srivardhan Fort Balekilla).

The height of Kataldhar Lonavla is about 350 feet with an overhand of more than 100 feet.

In Monsoon Lonavala becomes the Hot Destination for all the Trekkers. But Apart from the routine places “Kataldhar Waterfall Trek” gives us the immense pleasure of Trekking. “Katal” means wall of Rock & “Dhar” means a Waterfall. Just take a 2 hours plain walk from the Lonavala Station, then Leave the routine Trek route & start Descending the Valley for at Least 2 Hours. Now the Real trek starts towards Kataldhar waterfall through a Dense Forest. Every participant should wear Full Sleeves & Full Track pant to avoid power cuts from mosquitoes. After Reaching the Base of Valley you will be surprised by the Gigantic waterfalls of Kataldhar. Enjoy the Waterfall; Refresh yourself to complete the Slippery Climb through the Forest.
