Bhor Ghat, 2,000 ft high, is a picturesque spot located between
Karjat and
Lonavala. Situated on the crest of the Sahyadri ranges, Bhor Ghat is noted for its spectacular surroundings comprising scenic waterfalls, lakes and dense woods. Besides, it offers enchanting views of Khopoli town below.
Bhor Ghat was an important trade route in the past and was one of the three main ghats developed by the Satvahanas to move the goods from the merchant ships from Syria and Egypt to their capital Paithan. The ports of Karanja and Rajapuri were connected to the ghat. Later, the British laid a railway line from Mumbai to Pune through Bhor Ghat, making it a glorious rail route with 28 tunnels, old bridges and magnificent views.
Bhor Ghat has salubrious climate throughout the year.
