A historic trek to Umberkhind has been organised by Countryside Adventures Holiday. This is a trek steeped in history. How, you ask? Because, it's in these ravines or 'khind' that Shivaji Maharaj defeated the Uzbek general, Kartalab Khan, by trapping, ambushing and attacking his armies from all sides in the dense forests.

Why Should I Go?
While there are a-dime-a-dozen treks happening this season, this one stands out for its historical relevance. The trek tries to retrace Shivaji's steps - it starts from Umberkhind, where you will cross meadows and streams to reach the plateau below Duke's Nose; a trek that combines all kinds of terrain and makes the most of the rains. The total walking duration is 4 to 6 hours. The trek is priced at INR 2,500 per person.
