Sandhan Valley Trek
Nov 09 - 10 '19 | 06:00 AM (IST)
Event Information
"Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing."
Situated in the Western Ghats near Ratangad and popularly known as the Valley Of Shadows, Sandhan Valley is a naturally carved valley 200 feet deep and approximately 2kms long. Located near to the stunning Bhandardara region, it is also surrounded by Alang, Madan, Kulang, Kalsubai, Ratangad and Ajoba forts.
During the monsoons, the valley remains closed for trekking due to the falling of rock and numerous waterfalls that block the way inside the valley. It becomes a must-do trek after monsoons for its outstanding views and rough patches. The trek begins at Kasara and ends at Asangaon station. The entry point of the valley is at a village called Samrad and the valley exits into a village called Dehene.
Sandhan valley is a full descend trek, but the descend is not an easy walk. Completing the trek is more like solving a boulder puzzle. Throughout the length of the valley, we come across boulders ranging in sizes that we need to tackle as we proceed ahead. This trek cannot be done without the technical assistance of certified professionals as there are three patches where one has to rappel down. The 45ft rappelling patch along with two others requiring assistance only adds to the thrill of the exploration.
Sandhan is not recommended for people who are not physically fit/active. The length to be covered in two days is 10km. We highly recommend checking the photos and video links provided below before registering for the trek.
