Harishchandragad Trek and Camping at Kokankada

*⛰️ Harishchandragad Trek Via Pachnai and Camping at Kokankada 🎒*

Harishchandragad fort is trekkers paradise! It is one of the most challenging treks in the Western Ghats. The main attraction of this hill fort remains the Konkan Kada (Konkan cliff), an almost 4691 ft concave fall. It is a vertical overhang, like a cobra’s hood, providing a panoramic view of the surrounding hills and an enchanting sunset. The best part is, every and anytime you visit this place, you fall in love with it more deeply.
