“The greatest shot of adrenaline is in doing what you have wanted to do so badly. It may an adventure calling, it may a nature calling but we believe that adrenaline is nothing but your Soul calling. Trek Mates India is calling trekker’s soul for a range trek from Lonavala to Bhimashankar”
This is one of the tough range treks, as distance needs to be covered is close to 75 Kms. It’s an ancient trade route. It is an old trade route where in some parts you can actually see the old built route with the help of stone.
