Naneghat: Naneghat is an ancient pass in the western ghats. During Satwahana period (220BC to 190AD), it was extensively used by traders as a trade route between Kalyan and Junnar. A big pot; which was used for toll collection is still present there.
Jivdhan Fort: Situated on the mouth of Naneghat, Fort Jivdhan is one of the important forts built to keep watch on this trade route. It is also famous for the pinnacle Vandarlingi.
