Sandhan Ascent trek

As the title says it's an ascent trek from Karoli ghat where the valley ends to the starting point of the valley near Samrad village. This trek involves rock climbing on the boulders, scrambling, and jumaring at the steep rock patch using all the PPE required. At the end of the trek, we have to cross through a waterbody which will make you feel relaxed after the tedious thrilling trek. Sandhan Valley is one of the unique beautiful treks in our country that has a 4 km long stretch of the crevice, the gorge reaches a depth of more than 200 feet.
