Shivthar Ghal

Shivthar Ghal is a temple located in the Kasabe Shivtar district of Maharashtra. Shivtharghal – Also known as “Sundarmath” is a cave. Samarth Ramdas dictated “Dasbodh” to Kalyanswami. Samarth Ramdas lived here for about 22 years. It is believed that this is where the first meeting between Shivaji Maharaj and Samarth Ramdas took place.

Shivtharghal is around 34 km from Mahad, and 120 KM from Pune. Shivtharghal is located in Varandha Ghat in the Sahyadris on the Bhor-Mahad road. You can visit shivtharghal any time but the best time to visit is in monsoon because of its cozy environment. In monsoon, you can see a huge massive waterfall falling right in front of the cave though it is not accessible to visitors. In peak monsoon, the nature is at its best at Shivthar Ghal.
