It is the tallest peak of Maharashtra.and one of the best experiences u could ever have. I have visited here twice. The best season to go is the rainy season. We were a group of 15 people. Boarded from Dadar in the night and reached Igatpuri the next day at 5am. had poha and some breakfast and started the trek at around 7 am. extremely tiring climb and exhaustive.
Carry alot of water but dont overload ur bag packs as it may cause trouble and tiredness while climbing. The scenic beauty is just mesmerizing! and the greenery and coolness goes on increasing as u climb higher and ur tiredness just vanishes.there are natural small streams of water flowing which is edible and pure and can be drunk.During main rainy season u actually walk through the fog!
The small ladders are a little risky and scary. once u reach the peak and enter the temple u feel like an achievement! must visit in a lifetime!
