Kalsubai Peak
कळसूबाई
The highest peak in Maharashtra at 1,646 m, with iron ladders and steps leading to a small shrine on the summit. It is dubbed the 'Everest of Maharashtra.'
Kalsubai Peak rises to about 1,646 m in the Western Ghats, with a small shrine to the goddess Kalsubai at the top. From the village of Bari at the foot, stone steps and several iron ladders lead to the summit. The round trip takes 5 to 6 hours, with views over Bhandardara Reservoir and the surrounding peaks. Clouds and waterfalls in monsoon season are spectacular but slippery, and in winter you can often see a sea of clouds at dawn. Night climbs to watch the sunrise are popular with local young people. The peak is about 60 km from Nashik and can be combined with a trip to Bhandardara.
