Overview

The Harishchandragad Trek is one of the most iconic and scenic treks in Maharashtra, offering a perfect blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty. Starting with a night departure from Pune and PCMC, the journey leads to Pachnai base village, from where the early morning trek begins. The highlight of the trail is reaching the majestic Kokankada cliff, where the breathtaking sunrise and sweeping valley views create unforgettable memories. After enjoying photography and peaceful moments at the cliff, the descent takes you to the ancient Harishchandreshwar Mahadev Temple, a site steeped in history and devotion. By noon, trekkers return to the base village for a delicious unlimited veg/non-veg lunch before heading back to Pune by evening. With its mix of adventure, panoramic views, and cultural heritage, Harishchandragad remains a must-do trek for every explorer.
