Let’s Get ‘Wild’: 6 Adventurous Things To Do In
& Around Maharashtra
1) Trekking • There are about 150 forts in
Maharashtra• Some treks have 2-3 different
routes• I’ve been trekking since 2009
and have completed around 40 treks/trips
Some of my best treks
Dudhsagar Waterfall
Matheran Via Garbett Point
Matheran via One Tree Hill
Harishchandragad
Irshalgad
Vikatgad
Some info about trekking
• www.mumbaihikers.com is the site to go• It lists all trekking groups and trekking plans• Treks start at Rs.300 and go on till Rs.1200• Some treks are also for two days/overnight and are a
bit expensive• All you need is a good trekking shoe, a trekking bag &
determination• ‘Campus trekking’ starts at Rs.800 and is a good bet • Important to go with a group initially • Best time to trek is monsoon and winter• Go on a night trek also during winter. Maazza aata hai
2) Waterfall rappelling • Vihi, Dudhiware and some other
places• Extreme adrenaline rush
(Basically, fat jaati hai)
