Tags: Mountain Pass.

Naneghat (Marathi: नाणेघाट) is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range near Junnar in Pune district of Maharashtra India. 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.
