Kalmandavi Waterfall Trek is one of the most refreshing and lesser-known summer treks in Maharashtra. Located south of Jawhar in Palghar district, this hidden gem is perfect for trekkers, nature lovers, and weekend explorers looking for a quick escape from city life.
With an easy to moderate trail and a rewarding waterfall view at the end, the Kalmandavi trek is ideal for beginners as well as experienced hikers. The route passes through forest patches, rocky sections, and scenic viewpoints before reaching the beautiful natural pool at the base of the falls.
