Andharban Jungle Trek is a popular trekking route located in the Sahyadri mountain range of Maharashtra, India. “Andharban” translates to “Dark Forest” in Marathi, and this trek is named so because it takes you through a dense forest cover with minimal sunlight penetrating through the thick canopy. It is known for its dense and lush green forests, beautiful waterfalls, and breathtaking valleys.
The trek begins from the village of Pimpri, which is around 70 km from Pune. The trail takes you through a deep and mysterious forest, providing an enchanting experience. The forest is primarily composed of thick foliage and towering trees that block most of the sunlight, creating a dark and surreal atmosphere. This is what gives the trek its name.
The route is about 12 km long and typically takes around 5 to 6 hours to complete, depending on the pace and group size of the trek. It is considered an easy to moderate-level trek suitable for both beginners and experienced trekkers.
Andharban Jungle Trek offers a unique and memorable experience, allowing you to connect with nature and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the forest. It is a great adventure for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers who appreciate the beauty of the untouched wilderness.
