Did you know? Devkund Waterfall is one of the few plunge waterfalls in Maharashtra fed directly by a natural dam – making it flow all year, but monsoon enhances its beauty like no other.
Devkund Waterfall is a hidden gem in the Tamhini Ghats, nestled near Bhira village in the Raigad district. It's known for its turquoise plunge pool, jungle trail, and serene monsoon vibes. A favorite among Mumbai, Pune, and now increasingly popular among Karnataka travelers, it offers an adventurous blend of trek + nature photography + peaceful picnic.
“Devkund ek aisa waterfall hai jahan tak pahuchne ke liye thoda trek karna padta hai, lekin uski beauty dekh ke sara thakan chala jata hai!”
