A perfect break from the city life in Mumbai is a day trip
to Bhivpuri waterfall during the monsoons. The village of Bhivpuri is located
on the outskirts of the island city and to reach Bhivpuri, one has to board a
local train bound for Karjat. The journey takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes
from Dadar railway station and it is advisable to check the railway timetable a
day in advance since trains to Karjat is not very frequent.
Bhivpuri also has a railway station of its own named
Bhivpuri Road railway station. From here, one is closest to the waterfall.
From Bhivpuri Road railway station the walk to the waterfall
takes around 20 minutes where travelers have to walk out on the eastern side,
walk along the main road and pass through the village which has the same
name.
After crossing the village, the view is simply blissful with
lush greenery and small streams of water flowing at various places along the
flat plateau.
The best way of getting to Bhivpuri from Karjat is by hiring
an auto rickshaw to the village. The journey takes around 20 minutes. The
rickshaws drop travelers at the entrance of Bhivpuri village from where the
walk to the waterfall is the only option.
There is also a small
entry fee that the villagers collect and the proceeds of the same are used for
the upkeep of the waterfall and the surrounding areas
The waterfall is around 20 feet high and is active only
during the monsoon from June to mid-September. July and August are the best
months to visit the waterfall, since the water drops down with all its
might.
Bhivpuri waterfall is generally bustling with people over
the weekends with people of all ages coming to spend a day, chilling in the
water.
Waterfall rappelling is also conducted during the monsoon
and this adventure activity attracts a lot of adventure junkies from
Mumbai.
Another very important thing to keep in mind is to avoid
venturing too deep into the hole created by the waterfall as there have been
cases of people drowning, here.
Bhivpuri waterfall is an ideal place to visit during the
monsoon for all those who desire to spend a day with nature and do not wish to
travel too far from Mumbai.
