Nakhind Monsoon Trek

Try the Naakhind Ridge Trek for a change!

Why is it worth trying?

On a clear day, the top offers stunning panoramic views of Matheran, Irshalgad, Prabalgad, Kalavantin Durg, Chanderi, Haji Malang & Tahuli.

What makes it unique?

The thrilling, dangerous walk on the narrow ridge at the top that ends in a needle-hole-like structure in the rocks, called ‘Nedhe’, where a mixture of wild breeze, rain and sunshine welcome you with equal verve!

Not just the paper-thin ridge, but everything about this route is tiny and constricted, making it look straight out of a fairy-tale, including the dwarfish waterfalls on the way!
