About Devkund Waterfall
A wide plunge pool ringed by cliffs where three streams meet, at the source of the Kundalika. It sits inside the Tamhini restricted zone, so a Forest Department permit and a guide are mandatory, and the pool is genuinely dangerous at high flow, which is why it closes in peak monsoon.
What to see and do
- The emerald plunge pool and its cliff amphitheatre
- Forest and stream-crossing approach from Bhira
- Kundalika river source
- Bhira dam and the surrounding Tamhini forest
Part of Sahyadri (Western Ghats).
