Adventure Geek invites you to Andharban Jungle Trek 2024
Walking through Andharban is one of the most refreshing treks in the Sahyadri region.
Andhra [अंधार] in Marathi means darkness, and Ban [बन] means jungle, so Andharban [अंधारबन] means The Forest. Literally the ‘dark forest’, Andharban is a trail through the dense overgrowth, with beautiful views of the Tamhini Ghat along the way.
This is a simple trail that checks your endurance, a trail passing through dense forest on the edge Tamhini ghat. Flora and Fauna and waterfall all the way through the trek and dense forest makes this trek more happening
Best Trekking Spot in Maharashtra
All of this is available in Andharban - The Dark Forest Trek!
