Overview

Adventure Geek invites you to Andharban Trek
The trek through Andharban is one of the most refreshing treks in the Sahyadri region.
Andhra [अंधार] in Marathi means Darkness and Ban [बन] means jungle, so Andharban [अंधारबन] means The Forest. Literally the ‘dark forest’, Andharban is a trail through the dense overgrowth, with beautiful views of the Tamhini Ghat along the way.
This is a simple trail yet checks your endurance, a trail passing through dense forest on the edge Tamhini ghat.
