Driving safely through Kasara Ghat on the Mumbai-Nashik Highway
Kasara Ghat (also called Thal Ghat), on the Mumbai-Nashik highway, is a steep, winding climb through the Western Ghats — driving safely through Kasara Ghat mostly comes down to lower gears, extra following distance, and caution around the tunnel section near the top.
Use engine braking to keep driving safely through Kasara Ghat
Shift to a lower gear rather than riding the brakes continuously on the way down — the same principle applies here as on any long ghat descent.
The tunnel section near Igatpuri
Driving safely through Kasara Ghat includes adjusting to the sudden light change entering and exiting the tunnel — slow down slightly rather than adjusting your eyes at speed.
