Naneghat a mountain pass. Western Ghats range near Junnar Pune district, Maharashtra, India. View from Konkan side


During the reign of the Satavahana (200 BCE–190 CE), the pass was extensively used as a trade route between Kalyan and Junnar. Literally, the name nane means "coin" and ghat means "pass". The name is given because this path was used as a tollbooth to collect toll from traders crossing the hills.
