Duke's Nose, also known as Nagphani, is aptly named for its pointed shape that resembles the nose of the Duke of Wellington. Located in Khandala, Maharashtra, India, this prominent cliff is a popular spot for sightseeing, hiking, and rock climbing. The scenic views from the top are breathtaking, overseeing the lush greenery of the Sahyadri mountain range, picturesque valleys, and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The trek to Duke's Nose is of moderate difficulty, with well-defined trails leading to the summit. On the way, trekkers can enjoy the natural beauty and diverse flora and fauna. Once at the peak, visitors are rewarded with panoramic views that are especially stunning during the monsoon season when the area is enveloped in mist and the greenery is at its most vibrant.
