This region covers both sides of MAHABALESHWAR, the KOYNA lake and around SATARA. This region has excellent forest cover. The ferries on the KOYNA lake are an enjoyable way of approaching the forts on its western edge.

The range from MAHABALESHWAR to JUNGLI on the western edge of the KOYNA lake is a less frequented area. There are many passes and a lot of unknown trails which can challenge even a seasoned trekker. VASOTA fort is bear infested.

THE SHAMBHU-MAHADEO RANGE

Many historic forts lie in this area. They are surrounded by dense forests which receive the highest rainfall in Maharashtra.


Mahabaleshwar
This area is densely forested and a great spot for families and trekkers alike.
