Trek to HARISHCHANDRAGAD - INCLUDES AC BUS TRANSPORTATION

Harishchandragad, situated in the Malsej region of the Western Ghats is one of the most famous hill forts. Located in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, this quaint sleepy region is known for its scenic beauty and alluring charm! It is an ancient fort from the Medieval period where the Great sage Changdev (Writer of the epic Tatvasaar), used to meditate in the 14th century. Situated at a distance of approximately 90km from Kalyan, Harischandragad trek is one of the most challenging treks in the Western Ghats.

The main attraction of this fort is Konkan Kada. It is one of the biggest cliffs of the Sahyadri, fascinating many people from years together. Facing towards the Konkan side, the cliff looks down upon the Konkan with a breathtaking view of the surrounding region. Not only vertical, but it has an overhang, almost like a cobra’s hood.

Then there is Taramti peak, it is the third highest peak in Maharashtra, providing a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. The Cave of Kedareshwar and the Temple of Harishchandreshwar are other places of tourist attraction. The cave of Kedareshwar has a big Shivlingam, which is surrounded by water.
