Kille Kavnai Night Trek

About Kavnai

Kavnai Fort is located in a hillock, north of Kavanai village in Igatpuri. Kavnai Fort is a hill fort that dates back to the Mughal dynasty. However, later on, it turned into a stronghold of the Nizams of Hyderabad until it was captured by the British army in the 19th century. Built out of stone and lying in ruins, the final ascent to the fort is vertical with poor rock-cut steps secured by an iron ladder.

With a commanding view of the surrounding villages and also a lake on top, Kavnai is a well-rounded trek, that can satisfy your thirst for weekend travel! The fort embarks a small lake along with several temples dedicated to Goddess Parvati along with Lord Ganesha and Hanuman.

TIME TO UNWIND:

There are important things that need to be taken care of traveling like:

1) HYDRATE YOURSELF!
Drink water as traveling dehydrates you. Travel gets you off your normal routine. So, keep drinking water throughout the day to keep yourself healthy during your travel.

2) USE SUNSCREEN GENEROUSLY
It does not matter whether you are on a desert destination or on the beach or in the city, sunscreen is always a must. Find a good moisturizer with SPF in it to just wear it.

3) PACK WHAT YOU NEED
Different people have different packing options. Pack how you would like to pack and have no regrets.
However, take care not to go overboard as there are weight limits one can carry.

4) FOOTWEAR
There are some essentials that need to be taken off like a pair of comfortable shoes while trekking or hiking in the mountains. Shoes with good grip while ascending and descending help you to get a good overall rating of yourself. Sports shoes are a big no as they then wear off on the harsh ground of the mountains and split apart.

● In mountains & jungles, smoking or spraying deodorants attracts honeybees and one has to face a dangerous “honeybee attack” where survival of the person is difficult, hence smoking or spraying deodorants is strictly prohibited.
