  • Trip introduction

    Embark on one of the more challenging treks of Maharashtra and spend a night exploring the countryside mountains and forests of the Sahyadri range. Trekking over narrow routes, slippery edges, steep rockfaces and giant boulders, you'll climb your way to the top of Harishchandragad. En route, picture perfect views of the valley will accompany you. You'll spend the night at Konkankada, sleeping in tents pitched in the wilderness of the mighty mountains. The next day, before making your way down, you'll grab a shining sunrise from the Taramati Shikhar.

    This trek to Harishchandragad takes you over a trail rated moderately difficult, making it perfect for fit and healthy beginners as well as experienced trekkers.
