Nighoj

Nighoj is just another village in India. It is located in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra and it takes a couple of hours drive from Pune to get there. Tourists coming to this place are not interested in this village, but in a a group of naturally created potholes about 3 kms from this village. River Kukadi flows beside the village and at one point forms a deep canyon. The rock bed along side the canyon is hugely potholed due to natural erosion. The place is also visited by scientists who come to study the phenomenon of such formation.
