What Is So Awesome About It?

Surrounded by the majestic mountain ranges of Ratangad, Ajoba and Kalsubai, Sandhan Valley at Igatpuri, is the perfect getaway for the weekends if you’re looking for some thrilling adventure. Also known as the Valley of Shadows, Sandhan is one of the greatest canyons in the Western Ghats, with a depth of about 200 feet.

The five-hour long trek starts from Samrad and includes ascending the valley via Karoli Ghat, rappeling and crossing deep gorges.

At night, sit around a bonfire and set up your tents at the base of the valley. You can also go on midnight trail in the nearby jungle.

Anything Else?

We recommend you go on this trek with an experienced bunch of people at either LetsCampOut or Treks and Trails India. The team will provide you with tents, meals and toilet facilities. Prices start at INR 2,500 per person.

So, We're Saying...

Camping at Sandhan Valley is an experience of a lifetime. Quiet and serene, this beautiful place will let you unwind and come close to nature like never before!
