Trek Review
As a solo trekker, the rock cut stairs at the end looked a bit scary, but the professional team from Mischief Treks had all the safety gear and made us feel very confident. It was the best experience! The view from the pinnacle is just out of this world. And the small group size meant no long waiting times.
My partner and I did this trek. It's perfect for a weekend. The cave at the top is massive and a great place to rest. The trek isn't too long, but it gives you a great sense of accomplishment. The leaders were very knowledgeable about the history of the fort.
Our office group went for this trek. The pickup from Mumbai was very convenient for everyone. The trek was organized flawlessly. It was a great team-building activity. The authentic local food they arranged for us was simple but hit the spot after the climb. Highly recommended.
