Bedse Caves are situated in Maval taluka, Pune
District, Maharashtra, India.
Just 450 Steps to climb. 60 Kms Pune. This place
is well maintain by Person Mr. Dahibathe.
The history of the caves can be traced back up to
1st century BC. There are two main caves. The best known cave is the chaitya
(prayer hall) with comparatively large stupa, the other cave is monastery -
vihara. Both the caves contain some carvings although are less ornate than
later caves. Both caves are facing eastwards so it is recommended to visit the caves
early morning, as in sunlight the beauty of carvings is enhanced. There is also
a small "Stupa" outside to the right of the main caves. Bedse Caves
are comparatively less known and less visited. People know about the nearby
Karla Caves and Bhaja Caves but have hardly heard of Bedse Caves. The
trilogy of the caves (Karla - Bhaje - Bedse) in Mawal Region can't be
completed without Bedse. An easy hike through steps leads to the caves. Also
close to the Bedse caves are the famous foursome of Lohagad, Visapur, Tung and
Tikona forts adjoining the Pawana Dam.
The best time to visit Bedse Caves is the rainy
season as the hills are filled with lush greenery during that time. Also many
small waterfalls are created that can only be enjoyed during the rainy season. As
this is one of the lesser known spots, not many tourists throng the place, so
makes it easy to enjoy the views.
Bedse Caves can be reached from Pune via Kamshet.
Upon reaching Kamshet Chowk, left route is to be taken. That route goes
straight to Bedse Village where the caves are located. They can also be reached
via Paud - Tikona Peth - Pawananagar. Alternate route is from Somatne-Phata on
the Pune-Mumbai NH4 Highway.
Best time to Visit:
Any time you can visit this place. June to
September is best time.
