“Chicken Soup for Trekker’s Soul - RANGE TREK FROM LONAVALA TO BHIMASHANKAR ”
On a heavy demand from our lovely mates, we at Trek Mates India organise a second batch of Range Trek from Lonavala to Bhimashankar on 5th - 6th Oct '13
This is one of the tough range treks, as distance needs to be covered is close to 75 km. 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.

This is an awesome trek giving us chance to enjoy each and every feature of Sahyadri weather those are steep falls to Konkan, huge plateaus or dense forest .Also you will enjoy the enormous flowers and butterflies. This trek is an amazing beauty beyond camera one has to feel and experience.
This old trade route will not only test your potential & endurance but also check your patience…. Once in lifetime experience!
