Trek to Sandhan Valley on 2-3 March 2013

A trek which every individual should experience. Descend down huge rocks and boulders with the steep rock walls of the 2 kilometers long natural gorge towering around us, crossing a 4 feet deep water, a night stay on the rocky bed near a water pond under the open sky is a complete adventure package. The experience & the sheer magnitude of the steep walls is humbling to say the least. One of the favourite destination of trekkers and a beautiful place situated in the western ghats near Ghatghar is Sandhan Valley.

Join Nisarga Bhraman as we head out to explore this narrow gorge that descends from Samrad village on 2nd and 3rd March 2013.
