  1. Pandavkada Waterfall, apart from being a natural splendour, has some strong mythological connections as well. It is said that this waterfall has been named after Pandavas who once took bath below this waterfall during their exile and there is a huge tunnel here which is known as Pandavkada ankit. It's a splendid tourist spot. Here are a few more places to visit in Navi Mumbai.
