I am really thankful to My friend for his suggestion as this trek was by far the most adventurous and fun trekking. I am not much of a trekking guy but this trek has definitely made me one now. We were picked up from the mentioned location and it was on time. We were 6 people who went on this trek. The beauty of this place just can’t be described in a few words. We also made some new friends on this trek. Andharban can be best described as a heaven on earth

One of the best trekking adventures so far. It was very well organized must say. From our pick-up to the whole trek, we had the best times of our life. We met a few other people who were very friendly as well. We started our trek through the scenic beauty of the grounds. Trust me guys it was really beautiful. Most of the parts were dense jungle throughout our trek.

Kanti Varrier

Excellent

I was looking for an adventurous trip this time when I visited Pune. My friend suggested this amazing trek in Pune and I should say it was an amazing one. Everything was very well arranged. As the pickup was from Dadar so we didn’t have much difficulty. Our trek was through the green jungle and was quite a refreshing one.

Gudakesa

Excellent

It was a great trek, loved it. A must-visit place for trekkers who are looking for some adventure. Our pick-up was on time and so was our day. We trek through the verdant green forest and the quaint zig-zag roads. The best part was the sky that was just giving us the best view together with the scenery. Breakfast and snacks were good. Nice one!

Sumit

Excellent

This place is located in Tamhini ghat which is about 4 hours from Mumbai and 2 -3 hours from Pune. It is an awesome and must-do trek during monsoon as it offers some beautiful views of lush green forests and white-gushing waterfalls. It's a 13km trek and takes about 6- 7 hours. Please do this trek with an experienced group of trekkers.

Ronabir

Excellent

Located within this is a nature trail around 15 km long called the Andharban Trek. It means 'dark forest loosely translated. It's a good trek with a bunch of friends but not advisable in a group of 3 or fewer as it is right in the middle of the wilderness and help may be miles away in case of a mishap.
