Some details about Harishchandragad and
Konkan kada:
Harishchandragad is a hill fort in the
Ahmednagar region of India. Its
history is linked with that of Malshej Ghat, and it
has played a major role
in guarding the surrounding region. The height of
the fort is 4671 ft MSL.
The most interesting point on this fort is this
cliff, which has always
fascinated many people from many years. The
cliff faces west and looks down
upon the Konkan. From here, one can have a
breathtaking view of the
surrounding region and the setting sun. This cliff
is not just vertical,
but it is an overhang, almost like a cobra's hood. The Konkankada, a unique
formation in the Sahyadris, is really tough and a
challenge for the
trekkers. This is a semicircular cliff of about
2,000 ft straight drop +
1000 ft slant fall in the Konkan plains. The
surrounding grandeur and
beauty of the plains and the mountains leaves
us totally spellbound. It is
one of the highest direct fall cliffs to be found in
Maharashtra and
Western Ghats. This is a combination of thrill
and bliss that every true
adventurer would say ‘YES!!!’ to…
Rappelling, also known as abseiling is an act of
descending a mountain face
by sliding down a rope, which is attached to a
harness and fastened to
an overhead projection, with sufficient friction
provided as to make the
speed of the descend controllable.
Detail of the Rappelling:
To rappel the Konkankada atleast once in a life
time is a dream of almost
every adventure freak in Sahyadris. It is the
most thrilling and spellbound
activity offered in the Sahyadris range.
