Kalsubai is the highest peak of the Sahyadris in Maharashtra.
Kalsubai is situated in Ahmadnagar district at approximately 25-30 Km. South-East of Igatpuri. At the summit is a small temple of Kalsubai, which can seat just three people. At this superb height, the view is just marvellous. The vastly spread out backwaters of Bhandardara attract one’s attention from the top. To the north of the mountain range forts such as Ramsej, Harihargad, Brahmagiri, Anjaneri, Ghargad, Bahula, Tringalwadi, Kavnai can be seen. To the east one can spot Aundha, Patta, Bitangad, to the west Alang, Madan, Kulang, Ratangad (south west) and to the south Pabargad, Ghanchakkar, Harishchandragad can be seen.
We will be ascending Kalsubai via Indore route, a less trudged route. It takes 4 hrs
from Indore to reach the top. It’s a completely raw route with no ladders, no
constructed steps but only a foot trail to make your trekking more exciting.
