SAHYADRI - An Eternal Obsession

      The geographical feature which dominates Maharashtra the most is Sahyadri. From time immortal these mountain ranges have largely contributed to shape the life and the culture of the region. The Sahyadri and the Godavari-Krishna are to Maharashtra, what the Himalaya and the Ganga-Yamuna are to India. The entire ecology of the western Deccan has been decisively moulded by the environment provided by Sahyadri, its various spurs and numerous streams originating from them.

      With numerous easy and difficult but all delightful routes, Sahyadri is a veritable paradise for a trekker as well as a climber. The rugged topography of Sahyadri provides a rich choice of enchanting spots connected by narrow unfrequented trails through fields, forests and rocks. During dusk hours if you happen to be at a height towering above the surrounding hills, especially atop the rim of Sahyadri range, you may be enchanted by the spectacle on the western horizon, the Sun sinking slowly behind the distant Arabian Sea, which appears as a shining line.
