Unexplored Trek to Jabdeshwar Caves & Waterfall

Unexplored Trek to Jabdeshwar Caves & Waterfall

Pune

Overview

The Jabdeshwar Cave and Waterfall trek is a serene yet thrilling experience, graded as easy in both difficulty and endurance. Tucked away in a lesser-known region, this ancient trail was once frequented by ascetics seeking solitude and meditation. The trek leads to a hidden Shiva temple nestled within a cave, situated right in front of a powerful waterfall that flows with the force of ‘Rudra’. The route begins with a gentle incline, gradually opening up to a vast plateau offering panoramic views of cascading waterfalls from the cliffs above. As you venture deeper into the forest, the trail takes you behind the first waterfall before ascending steeply towards the upper tiers. A short climb leads to a scenic path alongside a stream flowing from the main waterfall, guiding you to the sacred cave. Here, trekkers can take a refreshing dip in the natural pool beneath the falls, explore the cave, and soak in the spiritual atmosphere and untouched beauty of the surroundings. With its rare combination of natural splendor, peaceful energy, and a hint of adventure, Jabdeshwar promises an enriching and offbeat trekking experience
