Having fun amidst the rain while trekking has its own level of excitement. When the Southwest monsoon winds bring the clouds hovering above Maharashtra, it’s time for the trekkers and nature enthusiasts to climb up the mountains and forts that can offer them some adventure and exhilarating fun. The Western Ghats offer so much more to the trekkers and nature lovers who want to explore the rugged topography and rocky mountains and walk through the extensive forest network that otherwise remains unexplored. In my previous post, I covered trekking destinations in Maharashtra for basic and medium level trekkers. In this one, we continue our trek journey, but focus on places that can raise the bar to the next level.

I’ve really covered so much about Maharashtra in some of my previous posts that I sometimes feel that there is nothing more that I can write about Maharashtra, but I’m glad I’m wrong and that new ideas emerge where I can showcase the beauty of my state across the globe. During the summers, Maharashtra can be really hot and it can make you sweat like anything, but the scenario changes only a few weeks after the arrival of the monsoon. The thundering black clouds shower over the Western Ghats for days and weeks and transform the hard, rocky and dried up mountains into a carpet of lush green with river water gushing through the mountain cracks offering life to the entire ecosystem in its way.

While many would prefer to stay indoors, thousands prefer to venture into the wild for an adventurous trip that they’ve been waiting for. Trekking in Maharashtra during the monsoon is something that can provide you with a pleasurable feeling like no other. All you need to do is pack your gear, muster up your courage and prepare to conquer these mighty mountains that can offer nature in its purest form. If you’re in Maharashtra and if you want some adventure trekking some of the nearby destinations with friends and family would be an ideal way to break the monotony of your routine life and be close to the Mother Nature.

Let’s take a quick look at the top 5 trekking destinations in Maharashtra for basic and medium level trekkers.

While India certainly has a lot to offer there are many tourists that prefer to break their holidays into smaller circuits and make the best use of the limited time and budget they have. Located in the north of India is The Golden Triangle, a tourist circuit that includes Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Although, it sounds like a smaller circuit it still offers the best experience that one can have in a limited space of a 5-6 days.
