Devi Ghat Trek is an extraordinary yet lesser-known monsoon trail that offers breathtaking scenery. The trail leads you through a deep, lush unexplored Dabaka Rai jungle along with Faleshwar temple, featuring numerous waterfalls and streams, including the magnificent Hiwala Waterfall cascading against the backdrop of the AMK forts. Starting from Ghatghar Village and connecting to Met Village on the Konkan side, locals regularly use this route in winter and summer. The trek is a treasure trove of natural beauty, with its jungle trails, river streams, and a series of small and large waterfalls, running parallel to the Ghatghar Kokankada.
