Sunrise Trek to Kalsubai

 Save as PDF

Stand on the shoulder of the Giant – Kalsubai Peak overlooking all the neighbouring hills and ranges covering the Sahyadri. Standing at 5400 ft 1646 meters, Kalsubai is the highest peak in Maharashtra. The peak along with the adjoining hills spans along a downward-slanting east to west axis eventually merging with the formidable escarpment of the Western Ghats at almost right angles. Along its length they form a natural boundary demarcating the Igatpuri Taluka, Nashik district at its north from the Akole Taluka, Ahmednagar district at its south. Often considered as a bucket list choice of most trekkers, this peak is a complete endurance test. However we highly encourage even beginners should join this trek.
