Sonara waterfall is a beautiful waterfall with its unique fall structure from an overhang. However to reach the waterfall, ones vehicle needs to be in good condition as it is inside remote from Shahapur in Thane.
How to reach Sonara Waterfall:
To reach Sonara waterfall one can go either from Murbad or from Shahapur. Murbad route is 5km longer. However the road conditions to Shendrun village which is at the highway from both the big cities are bad at the intervals. Road is very wide though. Recommended route is via Shahapur. From Shendrun village the road is good till Alyani village as shown down in the map. From Alyani as you enter Vitthalgaon village the road narrows to a single car lane with lot of potholes and roughness. However for 2 wheelers there is no problem but for 4 wheeler it will be difficult to maneuver. If two vehicles come face to face there is no chance. Avoid taking 4 wheelers to visit this falls or park somewhere near Alyani, but gist is avoid 4 wheelers. SUV's Jeep is a big no here as the roads are not wide that enough.
As shown in the map where the road ends, from there it is a simple 15mins walk to falls which is visible from road too. Not much of a hike.
Waterfall is very safe and easy to reach, however the rocks are slippery. The pool is small with a single protruding rock in middle. One can easily reach the top of waterfall and enjoy there which also provides good views of the surrounding. It is a simple and enjoyable waterfall but the road conditions for vehicle to go there is rough and very narrow from Vitthalgaon. No issue for 2 wheelers.
