DarkGreen Adventures (#DGA) invites you to the most scenic location of Maharashtra. Harishchandragad is one of the most understated places to visit in India. The major attraction here is KokanKada cliff which is not just vertical, it is an overhang like a cobra's hood. It’s beyond description and one must see it to experience nature's architecture. Taramati is the highest point of Harishchandragad and you can see the sun rising beyond the Khireshwar dam.
