How to reach Naneghat from Mumbai
Kalyan-Murbad-Tokawade-Vaishakhare-Naneghat Start Point
1. Catch a local going towards Kalyan (on Central Line). Get down at Kalyan Station..
2. The ST depot is just besides the station on the west side. Catch any ST going towards Alephata (strictly going via Malshej Ghat)
3. Tell the conductor that you want to get down at the start point of Naneghat. Still if he is confused, tell him that it lies just 5 km after Tokawade village. Note that the start point of Naneghat isn’t an official stop for ST’s and you have to request the conductor to let you get down over there [most of them are generous ones and let you get down :) ]. A big board on the right-hand-side with ‘Naneghat Gumfa Marg’ written in Marathi on it is where you have to get down (check out the below pic for your reference)
