03. Ashoka Waterfall / vihigaon waterfall
Best time to visit is in Monsoon...Peaceful and Lush green Places around it. This is a beautiful place in Vihigaon near Igatpuri.
From he Mumbai Nashik highway, one needs to take the inner winding roads to reach the spot if the waterfalls. There is a further trek ahead and it's advisable not to take adults and children as the route is steep and slippery.
Once you reach the water inside,it's a lovely experience and worth all the effort taken to get here.

04. Harihar Fort
Steep and challenging... I presume it makes little difficult for starters in monsoon with slippery slope and gravel... Exciting and reward yourself with peace. If you want more adventure then trek in rainy season which doubles up the adventure. In rainy season, step become slippery which add risks in your trek and regular trekkers likes the risks.
