Maharashtra has taken a bold step toward eco-tourism by opening its first glass skywalk over the stunning Napne Waterfall in Sindhudurg. Inaugurated on July twenty second, this skywalk promises an exciting new way for visitors to experience the untouched beauty of the Konkan region. Suspended over one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the state, the transparent structure offers a surreal view of the cascade below and the lush greenery that surrounds it. The skywalk allows you to feel like you are walking in mid-air, all while safely supported by reinforced glass and steel beams.
Located in Nadhavade village, just three kilometers from Vaibhavwadi Railway Station, this attraction is designed to make the hidden gems of Konkan more accessible and inviting. For travellers coming from major cities like Mumbai or Pune, the nearest airport is Sindhudurg Airport, located ninety four kilometers away. The village is also conveniently linked through roadways, including the Kolhapur Tarle National Highway and local transit options from Kankavli. With this infrastructure in place, reaching the site is simple and scenic.
The skywalk is not just about thrill, it is also about responsible tourism. Built at a cost of nearly one crore rupees, the bridge meets high safety standards, including limits on the number of people allowed at a time. Visitors must wear shoe covers to protect the glass surface, and security staff and guardrails ensure a controlled, enjoyable experience for all. The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation is also working on improving the surrounding area with rest areas, food vendors, and parking facilities to accommodate the growing interest.
Napne Waterfall itself is especially enchanting during the monsoon months, making now the perfect time to visit. With this new addition, the site is expected to attract not only nature lovers but also those looking for a unique travel experience. While Maharashtra has always had popular tourist destinations like Lonavala and Mahabaleshwar, the Konkan region is now stepping into the spotlight. The skywalk is more than just a photo opportunity, it is a gateway to exploring a lesser-known part of the state that deserves far more attention.
If you're planning a monsoon getaway or simply want to add something new to your travel list, Napne Waterfall with its brand new glass skywalk offers the perfect blend of adventure and nature.
