HARISHCHANDRAGAD
Harishchandragad is every trekker’s dream trek, standing at a height of 4350 feet. It is the only ancient fort in Maharashtra and known for its beauty. This fort offers breathtaking views. The Konkankadya area is connected to Harishchandragad and the fort is blessed with Kedareshwar Cave and many waterfalls.
KALU WATERFALL (God’s Valley)
Kalu Waterfall is the highest and largest waterfall in the Malshej Region. It is one of the less explored places in Maharashtra. Although Kalu Waterfall can be seen from the main road in Malshej Ghat, 90% of the falls is hidden due to its unique structure.

INSTRUCTIONS
- Accommodation: Ge ready for a wild experience, my friends. We’ll be staying in a homestay under the stars, with minimal basic village amenities. And fear not, village toilets are just a short 10-meter sprint away for a refreshing experience (who needs fancy bathrooms anyway?)
- Luggage: Leave those extra suitcases at home, folks. We’ve got a private tempo with us, where you can dump your unnecessary luggage. Trust us, traveling light is the key to a successful trek. Plus, we wouldn’t want you to break your back carrying unnecessary stuff (unless it’s snacks, then we highly encourage it).
- Luxury: Now, don’t get your hopes up for a five-star resort, my dear adventurers. This trek is all about immersing yourself in nature and embracing simplicity. So, forget about those fluffy pillows and room service, and get ready to rough it out like a true champion!
- Food: Get your taste buds ready for a flavor explosion! We’ll be treating you to hot and flavorful local cuisine prepared by the talented villagers. And if you’re feeling extra adventurous, bring your own homemade pickles to spice things up (literally)
