Harishchandragad is known for its challenging trekking trails, breathtaking views of the Sahyadri range, ancient rock-cut caves, and the famous Konkan Kada, a cliff face that offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding valleys.
As the pre-monsoon clouds gather in the sky, join us on a special camping and trekking experience to this magnificent peak located in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra.
The overnight camping experience under the starry sky will be an unforgettable experience, as you sit around the campfire and share stories with your fellow trekkers.
So pack your bags, put on your hiking boots, and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime as we explore the natural beauty of Harishchandragad amidst the pre-monsoon clouds.
Highlights
Major Attractions:
Kedareshwar Cave – There is the huge cave of Kedareshwar in which there is a big Shiva Linga, which is completely surrounded by water. Its height from the base is five feet, and the water is waist-deep. here are sculptures carved out in the cave. In the monsoon it is not possible to reach this cave, as a huge stream flows across the way.
KokanKada – This cliff faces west and looks down upon the Konkan. It provides outstanding views of the surrounding region.
Caves on Harishchandragad – These caves are spread out all over the fort. Many of these are situated at the foot of Taramati peak and are the place of accommodation. A few are near the temple, whereas some are near the citadel and some far away in the forests.

Trekking with wandering souls was a safe and good experience. The team leads were genuinely caring and made sure of everyone's safety despite having a large group.The trek was well designed and it also had an introduction session which served as an icebreaker and made the batch more friendly towards eachother. The crowd was decent and blending, you can meet and make new friends. It was my first time trekking with a group and I would join them soon 💪🏽👍🏽
