If you are looking for a famous monsoon waterfall trek near Pune, Devkund is a great choice. The trail from Patnus near Bhira follows the river through the forest with a few crossings, taking about 1.5 hours each way. At the end, the waterfall drops in tiers into a deep blue-green pool tucked inside the rocks, easily one of the prettiest falls near the city. It is around 90 km from Pune and best visited July to September. Go early, since the trail gets crowded on weekends.
