Kalmandavi Waterfall – Jawhar Valley Near Mumbai

Kalmandavi is an adventurous waterfall, Located at an isolated location in the deep valley of Shivajinagar, Jawhar. A multi-level waterfall and the only which is not recommended during peak monsoon and is best explored during early monsoon or post rainy days due to the risk factors involved.

Second on the list of waterfalls in Jawhar is Kalmandavi when it comes to attracting tourists, trekkers, and youths from Mumbai and other places around. The valley length covered by Kalmandavi is large as it is multi-layer. Drone shots of this valley feel like we are exploring some giant canyon which actually is one of the best treks near Mumbai for young enthusiasts.

ALERT!! The beautiful it is an Equally extremely dangerous waterfall to get inside the water. So request to not dive in. Accident in the year 2020 (5 Drowns), Also a 45-year-old drown while taking a selfie in 2021.

I will not recommend this for kids, aged or family group as the 20 to 25 minutes trek that is needed to reach is not suitable for them. Also, the location is a deep forest isolated, So better not take a risk of going there with family. It’s a heaven for Bikers, Trekkers, and Monsoon lovers.

Reaching Kalmandavi Near Shivajinagar: The location is about 7.2 km (15 minutes drive) from Hanuman point, inside the market area. From Hanuman Mandir (Temple) Road, You need to take Jawhar-Kaulale zap road and ahead take Aktar Road (On Right) while on the drive (Refer below Map). After a point, the road gets narrow and you need to trek down the hills to reach Kalmandavi. So park your vehicle at some safe location and head to explore this beautiful valley of Jawhar hill station.

Kalmandavi Fast Facts

HelloI'm here to say that many times bus 375 from Bandra station heading to shivaji nagar are not on time...more often they are delayed or cancelled.I keep waiting for it for 15-30min still the bus doesn't come.Today also I waited for 30min still the bus is not on stop.Plz Either change the bus schedule frequency which is shown on Google currently or make the bus come on time so that passangers will act as per convenience.

I visited the website in search for some specific bus routes and timings in Mumbai. I found them all. Well as far as I have used the website, it is pretty good for people to get information at one one place rather than browsing the internet for long hours.
