Darya Ghat

Palu Sonavale is the base village of Darya ghat on the Konkan side. The route to Darya ghat is from Singapur village which is one of the hamlets of the base village. In a short time on this path we come across a dense forest cover and this route takes us to the base of the cleft of Darya ghat. It is recommended to take a local guide for this route as there are high chances of missing in this dense forest route. The narrow pass between two hills is called “Nali” in local language which typically means ‘Like a funnel’. As these passes lie between two mountain walls there are many rocks which loosen from the mountain and fall in this pass. Thus we have to climb up this pass bypassing these huge rocks. To reach atop the pass it takes approximately four hours. Here, we can see some rocks covered with Vermillion. The base village of Palu Sonavale and the lake can be visible from here. To the left we can see Naneghat and its Thumb hill and Jivdhan mountain range. To the right there is the mountain range of Durg and Dhakoba forts. Once we climb the Darya ghat and descend another hill, we reach Amboli village. Time taken to reach from Darya ghat to Amboli village is about 6 hours while it takes about 4 hours for the reverse descending route.
