SURVIVORS Have Organized a Trek + Camping at “Konkankada HARISHCHANDRAGAD” On 10th – 11th DEC 2022 Saturday, Sunday

Short Information:

Harishchandragad is a beautiful hill fort in the Malshej region and a very popular trekking destination in the western ghats. The fort mountain along with, TOLAR KHIND, MALSHEJ GHAT offers a lot for trekkers. The main attraction here is the KONKAN KADA which offers a spectacular view of Konkan. During the rainy season you’d be walking in the clouds on this fort.

Major Attractions:

KEDARESHWAR CAVE – This temple is marvelous example of the fine art of carving sculptures out of stones that prevailed in ancient India. The river Mangal Ganga is said to originate from one of the tanks located close to the temple.
KONKAN KADA – A huge cliff at Harishchandragad which offers spectacular view of Konkan and also the sunset.
OTHER CAVES – There are many caves on this fort.
KEDARESHWAR CAVE: In this cave there is a Shivlinga which is surrounded by ice cold water. During rainy season this cave is not accessible as there’s lot of water in the surrounding area.
TARAMATI PEAK – Also known as Taramanchi. This is the topmost point on the fort. It is the 2nd highest peak in Maharashtra. Leopards are seen in the forests beyond this peak. From here we can have a glimpse of the whole range of Naneghat and the forts near Murbad.
