What to Expect
Expect a straightforward 45 to 60-minute climb mostly on stone steps. The trail starts from Peth Shahpur village and winds up to a huge plateau. Once at the top, you can easily spend an hour or two walking the 2-kilometer perimeter wall. On monsoon weekends, expect a massive crowd, thick fog, and strong winds. During winter, expect clear, panoramic views of the surrounding valleys.
- Monsoon weekends are notoriously overcrowded. You might literally be standing in a queue on the stairs.
- Monkeys at the top are aggressive. If you carry food in plastic bags, they will snatch it.
- There is absolutely no shade on the plateau. Summer afternoon visits are brutal.
- The base village gets muddy and parking becomes a nightmare on peak rainy weekends.
Things to Do
Plan Your Trip
Take a train or drive to Lonavala. From Lonavala, Korigad (Peth Shahpur village) is about 20 km away via the INS Shivaji road. You can drive your own car, or hire a private jeep/cab from Lonavala station. The drive takes about 45 minutes.
Local Guide
Eat a heavy breakfast in Lonavala (like at Ramakrishna) before heading to the base village. The shacks at Peth Shahpur are great for post-trek Maggi and tea, but get chaotic during weekend lunch hours.
