Nestled in the lap of the Sahyadri Mountain range in Maharashtra, Naneghat, also referred to as Nanaghat or Nana Ghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range between the Konkan coast and the ancient town of Junnar in the Deccan plateau.

During the reign of the Satavahana, the pass was used as a trade route between Kalyan and Junnar. The name Nane means “coin” and ghat means “pass”. The place was used as a booth to collect toll from traders crossing the hills, from which it is believed that it has got the identity as NaneGhat.

Naneghat pass stretches over the Western Ghats, through an ancient stone laid hiking trail to the Naneghat plateau.
