Kalsubai Trek
Explore the highest peak of Maharashtra, panoramic Sahyadri views, and thrilling iron ladder trails.
About This Tour
Some observers can rightly say that Nature has played its master strokes in the Western Ghats, as happens with the misty valleys and towering peaks of Sahyadri. When the canvas is as grand as the highest peak in Maharashtra, Nature is bound to take privilege. A trek to Kalsubai, standing tall at an altitude of 1,646 meters (5,400 feet), acts as a true perception changer for every adventure enthusiast seeking the ultimate adrenaline rush.
The journey begins from Bari, a quaint and scenic hamlet nestled in the Akole taluka. The trail winds through lush fields, rocky patches, and a series of thrilling iron ladders fixed on steep rock faces, offering a perfect blend of challenge and excitement. Reaching the summit rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of the colossal Bhandardara backwaters (Arthur Lake) and neighboring forts like Alang, Madan, Kulang (AMK), Ratangad, and Harishchandragad. Whether it is the monsoon blankets of fog or the golden winter sunrises, Kalsubai promises an unforgettable escape into the clouds.
