Caves near Kambre village in the 'Andar Maval' region of Pune district, Maharashtra are unknown to many. To reach here, one has to travel about 25 kms towards 'Kusur' from the 'Kanhe Junction' on old Mumbai - Pune High way, just 3 km from Vadgaon and 2 km from Kamshet. There are about 8 water cisterns and 3 caves. Many water cisterns are caved out of rock but unfortunately none of them holds water. The main attraction of these caves is a tunnel carved out of a rock with a provision of carved steps to reach the main cave. These are placed at a very beautiful location from where a view of Thokalwadi Dam back water looks awesome. One has to climb an easy + rock patch (can be climbed with out rope) to reach these caves which takes 15-20 minutes from the village. It is recommended to avoid visiting in rains.

Comments

  • - Completely unknown ancient Buddhist caves, with a unique 15’ manmade tunnel that bypasses the fall over the cliff and takes us towards the main caves. Quite a few water tanks and caves. Note: One has to negotiate a thrilling rock patch (Difficultly: 2 on a scale of 5), one may attempt a free climb, but can be risky. Hence, ideally not recommended during monsoon
  • may not be the Buddhist caves
  • how to reach kambre gaon
