One Day Trek to Devkund Waterfall from Pune
About Devkund Waterfalls:-
Devkund Waterfall trek is located in Bhira Patnus and since it went viral on social media, it has become an extremely crowded and dangerous place. Several lives have been lost while amateurs try to visit this place on their own. It is the confluence of three waterfalls and is said to be the origin of Kundalika River. It is about a three-hour trek from base village along the dam backwater and through forest to reach this place known as ‘Devkund’. A major part of the trek goes through some semi-dried forests with the river running parallel and sometimes crisscrossing through the route. A guide is required to be taken during the trek as there is dense forest all around.
Devkund Waterfall, t is a confluence of three waterfalls. This mystical waterfall also has a mythological significance and is revered as sacred by the locals who live there.
It is believed that the Kundalika River originates at Devkund. Though there isn’t much history associated with the falls, locals here believe that once upon a time utensils used to emerge from the Kund (pond) whenever there was any auspicious ceremony happening in the local village.
