Trek to Ganpati Gadad

What Is It?

A hill fort in Raigad, Ganpati Gadad is an easy trek being organised on Saturday, August 21. A group of 6-7 caves near Dhasai, this trek is a treat for sore eyes during monsoons. The trek is about 3,000 ft. above sea level and starts at Sonavale village in Dhasai.

A one-day trek for those who are pressed for time, this promises to be an all-day adventure. The journey comprises beautiful ghats and caves that come laden with rich history. Organised by Adventure Geek, it’s priced at INR 1,099 per person, including transport, and breakfast. We suggest you carry your own packed lunch to have while on the trek as lunch is not included in the package.

Not only the caves, the village offers other attractions as well. Historical places such as Dhakoba Fort and Nanheghat are nearby, so you can take a short hike if time allows. 

If you're looking for an easy outdoor adventure close to Mumbai, Ganpati Gadad is a great option that's close enough for a day trip. So what are you waiting for? Monsoon greenery and historic caves await! Nature lovers, trekking enthusiasts and anyone looking to have an nature-filled Saturday will have a great time.

Pro-Tip

The caves look like they are hanging from the cliff, so have your share of exhilaration here. Don’t forget to wear the right shoes and be prepared for the rains.
