Harishchandragad is outstanding. Here’s why?

Standing at an altitude of 4665 feet from Sea Level, Harishchandragad is one of few treks which is considered to be the pride of Sahyadri’s for trekkers. Its unique trail and multiple ways to reach the zenith attract all kinds of trekkers, From Novice to Expert.

Harishchandragad Fort dates back to the 6th Century and played a major role in history in safeguarding the surrounding areas. Caves are the main attraction of this place and they are believed to be carved in the 11th Century. Unlike many treks and trails, upon reaching the top we have multiple places to visit which makes us wonder about these gigantic mountains and hidden gems in them. Kedareshwar Cave, Konkan Kada, Taramathi Peak, Harishchandreshwar temple, and pushkarani are few to name.

It is not an extremely difficult trek and can be done by beginners with little or no discomfort.

Kalu Waterfall, located near Malshej Ghat, is one of the tallest and least commercialized waterfalls in the state. The trek to Kalu begins in the dense forest and passes through rugged terrain and hidden villages. The sheer drop of the waterfall, combined with the surrounding cliffscape and mist-covered valley, makes it a breathtaking sight. The remoteness of the area means fewer crowds and a deeper connection with nature.
