****Natural "Khandala"----- Beauty Hill of Station Khandala***** in the state Maharashtra
Brief Description about Khandala:
Khandala is a hill station in the Western Ghats in the state of Maharashtra, India, about 3 kilometres (1
9 mi) from Lonavala and 7 kilometres (4
3 mi) from Karjat
Khandala is located at one (top) end the Bhor Ghat, a major ghat (meaning valley in Marathi) on the road link between the Deccan Plateau and the Konkan plain
The ghat carries an extensive amount[clarification needed] of road and rail traffic
The Mumbai-Pune Expressway, the main link between the major cities of Mumbai and Pune, passes through Khandala
Due to the ease of accessibility from nearby cities, Khandala is a common area for hiking
One destination is the nearby peak of Duke's Nose, which offers a panoramic view of Khandala and the Bhor Ghat
The route near Khandala sunset point and khopoli has been there since centuries used to connect the coastal cities like Sopara to Pune
The transport from base of khopoli was by carts both hand pulled and horse drawn, which was tarred during British time somewhere in 1840
The railway route from Karjat to Pune was started under the guidance of Great Indian Peninsula Railway Chief Engineer 1849–1862: James Berkley (surveyor and route designer)
The chief Engineer had a bungalow near the current day st Xaviers Villa in Khandala facing towards Duke's nose hill, The construction of the Khandala tunnel was a herculean job as the tunnel had to be bored through basalt
There were four bouts of cholera in Khandala during the construction of the Tunnels and Khandala Railway station, Which is well documented by the paper published by sir James Berkley
The another notable place of visit is the Ancient Jail which was built in 1896, in which founders of St Xaviers college were jailed as POWs by the British masters
