Amidst the mighty Sahyadris lies a scenic ghat named Malshej. Through the ghat runs a waterfall named Kalu. Falling down at 1200 feet, it charts its way on the rock in five patches. This December, we are rappelling alongside of this waterfall. 1200 feet, to be covered in five patches over two days with a night halt under the starry skies! 

The journey begins on Friday night as the Breakfree Bus kicks off from Borivali at around 10pm. After a quick breakfast in the morning at the base village, we trek for an hour to reach the descending spot. The first day we rappell down about 650 feet and then set up camp on a wide plateau with the waterfall for company and beautiful views of the valley. A bonfire and some hot dinner later, we retire for the night looking at the thousands of stars twinkling overhead.

Sunday, day 2 dawns and a quick breakfast later, we begin our final descent in three patches and cover another 600 feet. It is noon by now but the adventure doesn't end here, at the nearby village awaits a delicious home cooked lunch for all of us! After a luxurious, well earned lunch we board the Breakfree Bus and head home feeling rejuvenated after spending time in the embrace of Mother Nature.


Things to carry:

To Keep Warm: A sheet and thermal wear or a jacket to keep yourself warm. It will be cold, so please come prepared.

To see in the dark: A torch with extra batteries is a must. A headlight if you own one already.

To Sleep: A sleeping bag would be ideal but a sleeping mat made of foam will work too.

Footwear and Attire: As always Action trekking shoes are the most recommended. Light fitting t-shirts, track pants, cargo pants are comfortable for trekking.

Dear folks,
  We have  arranged AMK Trio Trek on 27-29 DEC 2013 

General information:Alang-Madan are mighty forts in Nashik and are part of Kalsubai range. Dense forest, rocky patches and one of the biggest traverse in Sahyadri makes this trek more thrilling and challenging. On top of Alang fort there is huge plateau. There are two caves on the fort and 11 water cisterns. One can get fantastic glimpse of Sahyadri from Alang fort. If you look at east you will find Kalasubai, Aundh Fort, Patta, Bitangad. On the north side - Harihar, Trymbakgad, Anjaneri. On the south side - Harishchandragad, Aajobagad, Khutta (pinnacle), Ratangad, Katrabai can be located. Madan has got a beautiful set of steps for ascending to top. At some places route is little broken which makes ascending the fort difficult. We have to climb around 40 ft rock patch and negotiate traverse with deadly exposure. The view of the horseshoe shaped Alang from Madan is a beautiful sight.

Grade: Difficult

RAIRESHWAR To NAKHIND EXPEDITION

Short Info: 

Raireshwar is a 13 kilometer long plateau. Maximum height of this plateau is 1400 meters. It is mainly famous for its Shiva Temple where Shivaji is said to have taken oath to form Swarajya and he did it. The weather here is pleasant cool throughout the year. During winter temperature drops to 11 degree Celsius. It has smaller hills within and thick vegetation of neche (नेचे). Trek from Raireshwar Temple to the west most point of Raireshwar i.e. Nakhind is full of majestic spellbound views of valleys and mountains. Nakhind is a needle hole formed in the rock on the western tip of Raireshwar. On the trail one side we see the Nira Deodhar dam, its reservoir and winding road towards Varandha Ghat. On the other side we have Plateau of Koleshwar and Raireshwar. When we reach at Nakhind after trek of 4 hrs we remain spellbound by the majestic beauty of nature there. We see village of Kamathe, Kudali and Dhavale in the valley from Nakhind point. Jaunting Aurthers Seat, Chandragad, Mangalgad, Mahadev Murha, Mohan gad and other mountains are seen from here.

EVENT: 1800ft ACTUAL RAPPELLING

Group Size:30 participants per Batch. Prior experience in rappelling required.

Some details about Harishchandragad and Konkan kada:

Harishchandragad is a hill fort in the Ahmednagar region of India. Its history is linked with that of Malshej Ghat, and it has played a major role in guarding the surrounding region. The height of the fort is 4671 ft MSL. The most interesting point on this fort is this cliff, which has always fascinated many people from many years. The cliff faces west and looks down upon the Konkan. From here, one can have a breathtaking view of the surrounding region and the setting sun. This cliff is not just vertical, but it is an overhang, almost like a cobra's hood. The Konkankada, a unique formation in the Sahyadris, is really tough and a challenge for the trekkers. This is a semicircular cliff of about 2,000 ft straight drop + 1000 ft slant fall in the Konkan plains. The surrounding grandeur and beauty of the plains and the mountains leaves us totally spellbound. It is one of the highest direct fall cliffs to be found in Maharashtra and Western Ghats. This is a combination of thrill and bliss that every true adventurer would say ‘YES!!!’ to…

Rappelling, also known as abseiling is an act of descending a mountain face by sliding down a rope, which is attached to a body harness and fastened to an overhead projection, with sufficient friction provided as to make the speed of the descend controllable.

Detail of the Rappelling:

To rappel the Konkankada atleast once in a life time is a dream of almost every adventure freak in Sahyadris. It is the most thrilling and spellbound activity offered in the Sahyadris range.

Rappelling will be conducted in 4 stages to complete 1800ft.
