OffBeat Sahyadri : Explore the unexplored "Peth to Kalkarai Jungle trail on 28th of july 2013

Explore the unexplored "Peth to Kalkarai Jungle trail on 28th of July 2013

So many times while trekking on defined routes we observe paths diverting and merging and we just give it a though where there routes might be reaching and then we just continue trekking.

we think of exploring such routes when we visit the place next time but we hardly find time for that.

At offbeat sahyadri we are always keen to explore the unexplored, to rediscover the forgotten and to take our beaters to less crowdy extents of the mighty sahyadris.

last year we had explored Kothaligad to nakhinda, the kawlya ghat.

This year we are going to take you people to an unexplored jungle trail. we will be walking for hours on a plateau fully covered with dense jungle. 

This jungle trail is for those who 

love to explore new places, 

who is keen in flora and fauna, 

who enjoys wild life photography. 

If you have it in your blood,

Come join us for a Jungle trail starting from Peth till Kalakarai.
