Kalsubai trek overview

The Sahyadri region’s Kalsubai trek is among the most popular. At a height of 5,400 feet, it is the tallest hill in Maharashtra and is close to both Mumbai and Pune. 

The route offers amazing views of natural landscapes, including waterfalls, woodlands, grasslands, and old forts. All year long, visitors from the adjacent villages come to the Kalsubai Temple at the crest of the mountain. 

They travel here to receive Kalsubai Devi’s blessings. It is thought that Kalsubai, a young country girl, resided in the mountains. She assisted in village activities at the time while also healing locals and animals. 

The Kalsubai trek, which hides away in the beautiful Sahyadri hills, is made up of rocks and sheer, vertical hill slopes. The peak offers a great perspective of a number of forts, including the forts at Kulang, Madan, and Alang.

We advise a one-day hike to this location, but if an overnight trip is being considered, one can stay at Bhandardara, which is around 16–17 km from Bari Village. If you’re feeling a little more daring, set up camp on top of the hill in a suitable area.
