About:

Kalsubai is the highest peak in Maharashtra (1,646 meters / 5,400 ft). Often called the "Everest of Maharashtra," it is located in the Ahmednagar district within the Kalsubai-Harishchandragad Wildlife Sanctuary.

Known as the "Valley of Shadows", it offers a thrilling moderate-to-difficult adventure featuring narrow gorges, rappelling patches, and rocky terrain.
