Raghuveer Ghat - The entryway to the walk in the clouds.
Location: Raghuveer Ghat (रघुवीर घाट)
This is one of Khed Konkan’s hidden magnificent ghats, close to Jawli Khor during the rainy season. It feels like the entrance to heaven. The ghat work began in 1990 and was finished in 2002. These ghats connect villages such as Shindi, Valvan,uchat, and Kandadt to the city of Khed. Mahiman Gad, a fort near the Koyna backwater, is located near the ghats, which can reach heights of up to 4200 feet above mean sea level. The two big water pond is located on mahimangad, and some canons mention the Maratha Empire in Konkan.
The ghat has only one hotel on top, which is nicely created with two huts and 4/5 room lodgin. Also, in the rainy season, the wind pressure kicks you and full day has a foggy atmosphere, the clouds look downward and you may stroll in them.
When we traveled some distance to Shindi village on the left side, we noticed very high forest lines, which are dreadful in height, and that spot one Shivalay, now known as Mallikarjun, which is built in the Hemadpanthi style.The ground water spring from these areas, which are near to the Koyna backwater, has water throughout the year, even the summer season.
Tejas Thakare, the son of the Shivsena Party chairman in Maharashtra, registered this crab species in 2016. The work was published in Zootaxa. They call this crab Gubernatoriana thackerayi.
