What to Expect
A proper endurance test through a dense, uncommercialized forest. You will be navigating slippery rocks, crossing raging streams, and dealing with leeches. The trail is completely natural, meaning fallen trees and overgrown bushes are part of the obstacle course. Expect to be soaking wet, covered in mud, and completely disconnected from the digital world.
- Leeches are everywhere during the monsoon. Wear full pants and carry salt or Dettol.
- The trails get dangerously slippery. Good trekking shoes with deep lugs are non-negotiable.
- Flash floods are a real risk in heavy rain. Never attempt this trek without an experienced local guide.
- Zero mobile network once you leave the highway. Inform your family before you reach the base village.
Things to Do
Plan Your Trip
The base village is roughly 130 km from Pune and 150 km from Mumbai. It is best reached by hiring a private vehicle or joining a group departure from Pune/Mumbai. State transport buses drop you at Malshej Ghat, from where you will need to hitchhike to the base.
Local Guide
Pre-book your post-trek meal with a local villager before you start the trek so it's hot and ready when you return exhausted.
