BHIVPURI WATERFALLS, KARJAT
There is a village located at top of these falls which is accessible and one has to climb the ridge all the way till top from base of Bhivpuri village. One can also climb from the waterfall side route but that is too steep and slippery during rains. The waterfall is not pure in terms of getting drenched below since there is habitation above the falls. Bhivpuri has many waterfalls this being the center of attraction.

Too much crowd during holidays.
Bhivpuri hills are famous for picnic makers. However it is extremely crowded during holidays just like our mumbai local trains. There are numerous stalls setup by villagers along the way. They sell all items from food till beer. Due to heavy crowd the waste accumulated is too much at the base of waterfalls. Also heavy consumption of alcohol is done by the public during holidays. Bottles and crushed glasses, plastics lying everywhere. Advise not to throw waste in falls. If one wants to enjoy the serenity of the falls not recommended to go during holidays.
Key Points:
1) Waterfalls are not dangerous but during heavy rains it roars.
2) Easily accessible from main road (walking distance). Rail station: Bhivpuri Road.
3) One can take private cars but the villagers take a lot of price for parking ranging from 50 to 100 or even more and without receipt. Also they charge for visiting waterfall somewhere around 10, a cheap way of making money from visitors.
