| Location |
 To the east of Karjat and in the juxtapose to
the Rajmachi lies this trek with thrilling rock patch. Get down
at Karjat and then catch a bus for base village Sandshi (~ 20 km,
1st bus at around 4.30 am). A simple climb of about 2 1/2 hours will
take you to a great col. Getting down of col and
turning right will offer you a final rock patch. Half an hour rock patch will take you
directly into the caves and Bhairoba temple |
|
| |
| Precaution |
 More than anything else, the utmost precaution needed is
while negotiating the rock patch. A bit of here and there, and you could be down
in the valley. However, you take enough care and you will
enjoy this thrill......cent percent! |
|
| |
| Sight Seeing |
 Nothing really special here to see.
However a spacious cave with ample water is
really a surprise. One can combine a nearby trek to Dhak fort
along with this. |
