Devkund waterfall, A single plunge waterfall hidden inside the jungle is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Raigad District. Water is accumulated from streams in Tamhini ghat and the plus valley which lies atop where there are many natural ponds in the rocks. It's a very relaxing and thrilling experience to take a dip in the chilling pond.

Secret waterfall, which is near Bedgaon village is famous for the rock formations with an arch bridge and water ponds. Water flows in from the Tamhini ghat to this waterfall. Locals also call it Devkond, Recently it got famous through internet posts and a very short hike is required to visit this waterfall. We will be providing our own life jackets at this place as an extra precautionary measure for those who are interested to dive in the plunge.
