The rainy season was just started and my family wanted to visit nearby waterfalls or water dams. We wanted to explore waterfall which was close to Kalyan so that we could plan our one day trip. After quick google search and checking with my office colleagues, we finalised to visit Bhagirath waterfall at Vangani which is on the way to Karjat just after Badlapur station.

We packed our bags on previous day of the journey and decided to catch
8.30 am Karjat train from Kalyan. We had a heavy breakfast in morning and started our journey with the same train. Vangani was just 30 mins from Kalyan. As soon as we got down at Vangani it started raining heavily. The autorickshaw stand was just outside the station. We quickly got into autorickshaw and started further 20 mins journey toward the Bhagirath waterfall.

The initial road to waterfall goes through the lanes of a small village. After you cross the village, on the way you’ll find green farms on both sides of the road and various small water streams flowing within the farms. The beautiful view of green farms during rain was just enjoyable.

The autorickshaw dropped us at the base of the mountain from where  you need to take 15-20 mins adventurous trek to reach the waterfall. We had to go through mountain path where left side was full of small plants spread across and on right side was a small valley with rocks. We also found small water streams on the way to the main waterfall.

Finally, we found the Bhagirath waterfall which was huge with fast flowing water. Lot of groups were already enjoying in the waterfall. We too had a great time for almost 2-3 hours and enjoyed a lot.

Although, we had planned for one day trip, we managed to wrap-up around
2.30 pm. It was a nice place to visit with a small trek. If you plan to visit this place, start early to avoid crowd. Also carry your own food as there are no food stalls available near the waterfall. Only one stall is available at the base of the mountain where you can get tea, biscuits and corns.

Have a great time! Enjoy your trip to Bhagirath Waterfall 🙂

Here are some photos captured by me during the trip.
