KALSUBAI TREK

Grade- Moderate-Difficult

Base Village- Bari Village

Closest Railway station- N/A

Distance from Mumbai- Around 140 kms

Distance from Pune- Between 180 kms.

To be kept in mind that there are multiple routes to the top. For every route requires different climbing skills, from easy to extremely skilled. You better choose your route wisely, or ask the expert before proceeding. Bari village is just 6kms from Bhandardara, the earlier you reach Bari in the morning the better it is. Breakfast is available around village and the climb is long, having a moderately full tummy is not too bad of an idea. It is a smart option to carry essential water, food and medication. Not as high as the Himalayas but being the highest peak in the Sahayaradri mountain ranges, at over 5400ft, some pax may feel lack of oxygen after the long climb. There are 3 stairs on your way, so if you reach the third, be least assured you are almost there. Reach the top and feel proud, as you are higher than any natural or manmade structure for at-least a good 770kms till you reach Mount Abu.

Not to Miss- A small temple dedicated to Kalsu, on the top. Kalsubai owing to its height offers panoramic view of the surroundings. The vastly spread out backwaters of Bhandardara attracts ones attention from the top. On the north of Kalsubai forts like Ahivant, Saptashrungi, Markandya can be spotted and to the east of Kalsubai one can see Harishchandragad.
