Jawhar is a small town in the Palghar district of Maharashtra. Located at a distance of just 100 kms away from Thane. It is commonly referred to as Thane's Mahabaleshwar. Located in the Sahyadri Ranges this place is blessed with numerous waterfalls, valleys and lakes. This area is full with rural villages where you may get a look into the lives of the locals and engage with the tribes who live in the area. Jawhar has a strong cultural ethos as well as a long history dating back to the 14th century. Because of its proximity to Mumbai, it might be a great day trip destination.
Dabhosa Waterfall: One of the beautiful waterfalls in Jawhar, on the Lendi River, is Dabhosa. It is well-known and well positioned to relieve one's body and mind with its scenic and soothing beauty. This waterfall is particularly appealing due to the flowing water tumbling down the granite rock face. This natural and unpolluted site is surrounded by deep trees and offers a tranquil setting for anyone seeking isolation.
Hiradpada Waterfall: Hiradpada waterfall is a popular tourist destination in Jawhar because it is unspoiled and relatively untapped. It is nestled among beautiful foliage. The white rushing water and roaring cascade are both breathtaking and eye-catching. A lovely vista is created by the waterfall's backdrop of mountainous wooded mountains.
Khad-Khad Dam: The dam at Khad-Khad has given the tourist industry a huge boost. The gorgeous surroundings of the previously undiscovered terrain will entice adventure-seeking tourists or provide a tranquil natural atmosphere to relax a fatigued mind and body.
Hanuman Point: An ancient Hanuman mandir of great religious importance gives it its name, Hanuman Point. Another point that lures tourists is the astonishing view of Jaivilas Palace. The Maruti or Hanuman mandir is known as Katya Maruti mandir. During the day, the historical fort of Shahapur Maholi is visible from this point. A beautiful green 500ft deep valley known as Devkobacha Kada unfailingly takes the attention of the tourists. A great place to try to your new camera as Hanuman point is surrounded by a valley and high hills.
