Route Details

A trek to the six ancient forts of the Satmala mountain range is a favourite among trekkers, and the breath-taking views from these majestic forts are truly worth experiencing.

Day 1: Trek to Chandwad starts from a parking lot close to Chandreshwar Mandir. It is a well-defined trail till the point where the ladder is placed. A barbed wire and an old rope is attached to the ladder and fixed on top by locals. It is not recommended to take the support of the old rope to negotiate the rock patch above the ladder. Hence, rope was fixed for safety and the group was belayed to the top. Indrai Ascent: The trek to Indrai through Indraiwadi is a gradual climb which has tree cover in some sections. The trek is through patches of rocks, hay and scree.  Ascent to Indrai was through Chor Darwaja which had to be treaded carefully on rocks and scree. There are 3 caves and a series of steps leading to Ambabai Mandir. Night stay was at Indrai top near Mahadev Mandir.
