Trek to Harishchandragad via Paachnai, Ahmednagar District. The best and safest trail during monsoon season, this trail offers breathtaking views of the mountains
Harishchandragad has a history way back from the 6th Century. There are few trails to reach the top from different places. It has prominent caves, Concave-shaped mighty Konkan Kada, Kedareshwar cave, Harishchandreshwar temple, and the highest peak taramati at an elevation of 1429 meters. It won’t be a surprise to hear from regular trekkers that they have been to Harishchandragad a few times through different trails.

During Monsoon, the waterfalls at many parts of the trail offer the most beautiful sight at Harishchandragad.
