About the Experience
This is a brand new hiking trail we have identified within our preferred proximity of 2 hours from Mumbai.
This will be the 1st time we will be hosting this hike.
As usual, we are only hosting this trail because it has passed our checklist based on our values & principles:
-
Unknown known location
-
No digital footprint
-
Close to Mumbai
-
Un-trashed
-
A mountain exclusive to ourselves
Where
As usual, we do not disclose the exact whereabouts of the location to protect it. We can tell you it is within 1.5 - 2 hrs from the city. The exact location will be disclosed 2 days prior.
Why we don't disclose locations online
& more on Responsible Outdoor Tourism
If you aren't aware yet, then you should know that we do our best to host our outdoor trips responsibly and reduce the detrimental impact on the environment.
Since the past few years, we have noticed how social media, irresponsible & over-tourism in the Maharashtrian mountains has ruined the great outdoors we have. A significant number of treks in Maharashtra receive thousands of irresponsible humans that cause severe environmental damage.
In order to reduce the impact and not contribute to it, we host our experiences in lesser-known, hidden, or unexplored locations in the mountains.
When you do join us on this trek, there is a very strong request to keep the whereabouts of the location to yourself only.

What is the Difficulty Level of this ride?We have two versions of this ride: - Relaxed 14 kms - Challenging 32 kms The Relaxed 14 ride is something most people shall be able to do fairly easily. Although there is a significant portion of off-road on this ride, it is not necessarily challenging and can be done at your ease & pace. The Challenging 32 ride is ideal for guests that have an active lifestyle and are interested in a more fast paced & intensive version of this ride. Couch potatoes & folks that live a sedentary life could have a tough time only on the slopes. If you are uncertain about which would be a good fit for you, please feel free to get in touch with us and we would be more than happy to guide you through.
