Located at the foothills of the Western Ghats, Prabalmachi is a small village in the shadows of the towering peaks of Prabalgad Fort and Kalavantin Durg. The village has a silent and pleasant ambiance as it takes you away from the bustling city and serves a base village for trekkers hiking up the two mountain peaks. The Prabal plateau opens up to breathtaking views of the valley, a great spot to catch the morning sunrise from the top. You'll stay in cosy alpine tents pitched on the plateau, surrounded by tall trees and lush greenery.
