Pune-Mumbai Rail Track Trekking,
Gambhirnath Caves
An unexplored cave near Monkey Hill.
22 March 2009
After really long gap we were on a trek despite very hot summers. Aditya suggested an offbeat & non repetitive trek. I searched on the net for some different spot & found Gambhimanth Caves near monkey hills. Rahul also joined us in the trek.
Pune-Lonavala-Monkey Hill were three different stations we had to change trains to reach our destination. Monkey Hill is not exactly a station, train stop here on signals
Distance between Gambhirnath Caves & Monkey Hills is 4 Km towards Karjat side which has to be covered on foot along the railway tracks.
We did not know the exact location of Gambhirnath Caves from Monkey Hills. Locals were also unaware of the exact location of Gambhirnath Caves. A very few of them had known about it.
This was our beginning of our journey through tunnels. There were hot patches of sunshine between two tunnels.
Man at work.
This was a very different, new experience for us. Even though the sun was very harsh we were enjoying the journey
This was a under bridge for the rain water to flow through.
This is a small patch of Pune-Mumbai Express Highway near Khandala

Our shirts were wet bcos of sweat & we had nothing to eat. Rahul suggested that we will be well prepared for next trek

A bit of respite from the sunshine bcos of umbrella.
A small temple on the track.
After a hard 4 Km walk we reached our destination. There is a way to the cave before the tunnel
That’s our destination Gambhirnath Caves.

Gambhirnath Caves
This is a small entry to Gambhirnath Caves .There is one more cave inside this cave.
This is Thakurwadi, there is another route to Gambhirnath Caves from Thakurewadi, which is just 2 Km. All the trains have to stop on this signal.
Unfinished railway tunnel .This was constructed by a British engg. .Towards the end of the tunnel there was a valley so he could not complete the tunnel .So he built an alternative railway track on being advised by his wife.
This tunnel connects Thakurwadi railway station & Nagnath railway station

DeleteNice blog.....few corrections sir....
ReplyDeleteA few corrections though..
That is not an "Unfinished tunnel", instead, its actually a service tunnel, that connects Nagnath to Thakurwadi, and incidently, your last snap is at Nagnath, and not Thakurwadi ;)
Kharad Sir Siddhesh here.Can you tell me the place where he is standing besides a temple probably made of white marble?The single line suggests it to be on Nagnath Line.Am I correct!
