Kalsubai Trek Route & Difficulty

The Kalsubai Trek has two routes; however, in this guide, we will cover the most common one, the ladder route from Bari. The trek is a  6 km (approx) long trek  that takes approximately  3-4 hours  to reach the summit. The hike is divided into three sections: the initial climb, the plateau walk, and the final ascent.

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from each section of the trek:

• Initial Climb:  The trek starts through farmlands and rice fields and then has a steep climb up a series of rocky steps, which can be challenging for some. This hike section is difficult, so take your time and pace yourself.
• Plateau Walk:  Once you’ve done the initial climb, the trek levels out, and you’ll walk along a scenic plateau with stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
• Final Ascent:  The final stretch of the trek is the most challenging, with steep inclines on the ladder and rocky terrain. However, the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel when you reach the summit is worth the effort.

The difficulty level of the trek is moderate.  A beginner with zero hiking experience but a good fitness level can attempt this trek because the terrain is comparatively easy compared to other hikes in Maharashtra. However, one must be careful in the monsoons because the trail gets slippery.

Best Time to do the Kalsubai Trek

• The best time to visit the Kalsubai Trek is from September to February  when the weather is pleasant, mild, and ideal for beginners.
• During the monsoon season, the trek can be dangerous due to slippery pathways and heavy rainfall. It is advisable to avoid the hike during this time.
• The trek can also be done from the last week of May to 2nd week of June to enjoy the beautiful phenomenon of the pre-monsoon clouds. You can also attempt the night trek during this season, enjoy the sunrise from the top of the peak, and get amazing views of the surrounding region.

Things to Keep in Mind for the Kalsubai Trek

Before embarking on the Kalsubai Trek, here are a few things you should keep in mind:

• Fitness Level:  The trek is challenging and requires a good fitness level. Preparing for some cardio and strength training before attempting the hike is a good idea.
• Gear:  Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes with good grip. Carry a backpack with water, snacks, sunscreen, and a first aid kit.
• Safety:  Always trek in groups, and never attempt the trek alone.
• Weather:  Check the weather forecast before embarking on the trek. Avoid the hike during the monsoon season and extreme weather conditions.
• Permission:  Obtaining permission from the forest department before starting the trek is mandatory. Make sure you carry a valid ID proof for the same. However, if you are a trekking group, this is arranged by the trekking group.

Guide to Kalsubai Trek

Kalsubai – ‘the everest of maharashtra’..

Kalsubai is Maharashtra’s highest peak. Standing at a staggering height of 5400 ft. above sea level; it offers stunning views of the Sahyadri ranges and lush green cover surrounding the mountain. Kalsubai is one of the most popular trekking destinations in Maharashtra. The trek is steep in places but is helped immensely by the good infrastructure in place for the trek, making it accessible for inexperienced trekkers as well. The mountain itself dates back to the Cenozoic Era, composed mostly of solidified flood basalt. Kalsubai is a great spot for star gazers and campers as well.

Nestled amongst the pristine Sahyadri ranges, the Kalsubai trek is a blend of rocky patches and steep vertical hill slopes. The peak gives an excellent view of various forts such as Kulang, Madan, Alang forts. We recommend this place as a one-day trek , but incase an overnight journey is being planned, one can stay at Bhandardara which is approx 16-17 km away from Bari Village. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous, pitch your tent on top of the hill at a suitable place to camp. There are many travel agencies which conduct trek events at this place. But since the route is pretty straightforward and well laid-out, going without a guide or group is not much of an issue. For details about accommodation at Bhandardara, refer to our article on this beautiful location here

WHAT TO SEE

-The fun-filled trek route consisting of meadows, flowers and streams and the sense of achievement attained after climbing this peak; makes it one of the most sought after treks in Maharashtra.

Read on to know more about the trek itself:

BEST TIME TO VISIT

MONSOONS :   GO FOR : THE VIEW OF LUSH GREEN HILLS AND GORGING WATERFALLS

As the monsoon showers begin, a gorgeous landscape filled with cascades and greenery spreads around the mountain. Expect floating clouds to accompany you in cool, misty weather, making trekking a delightful experience. The months from July to September are suitable to enjoy the highlights of the monsoon season.

WINTER :  GO FOR : FLOWER TREKS AND NIGHT TREKS 

-There is a dramatic change in the landscape at Kalsubai after the monsoons as the flowers of different varieties blossom and attract various species of drangon flies, bees and butterflies that are attracted to their sweet nectar. In the winters, snakes and lizards can be spotted sun-bathing near the ladders often.

– The meadows bursting with flowers in bloom make for a splendid day trek-route and activities such as stargazing and Moonlight treks attract a large number of travelers to Kalsubai in the Winter. The months from October to February are suitable to enjoy the mesmerizing view of the  night skies and beautiful sunrises atop the hill.

Both Vagabond Experiences and Ajay Singh from the Adventures Club Pune recommend the night trekking experience while climbing Kalsubai peak.

“As there is hardly any forest cover on the Kalsubai Trek, the Moonlit sky and night trekking makes for a fun experience as you can avoid the heat,” states Shannon Fernandes.  “In comparison to other treks, there is a clear laid out path and staircase to climb and so there isn’t much of a risk to trek at night.”

HOW TO GET THERE

MUMBAI TO BARI

– Located at a distance of approx 150 KM from Mumbai, it takes 2-3 hours to reach the village of Bari, which is the base of the trek. From a convenience point of view, it is highly recommended to take the road instead of the train. -The best route from Mumbai to Kalsubai is: Mumbai > Kalyan >Ghatgar>Bhandardara> Bari.

  PUNE TO BARI

-Located at a distance of 180 KM from Pune , it takes 4-5 hours to reach Bari village. -The best route from Pune to Kalsubai is : Pune >Sangamner ->Rajur>Bhandardara> Bari.

BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT  :

– Kasara and Igatpuri are the closest stations to Bari village. While Kasara is 50 KM away from Bari, Igatpuri is approximately 30 KM away from Bari.

-One can either board trains such as the  Mahanagri Express, Nandigram Express train, Kolkata Mail, Howrah Mail from CST to Igatpuri or take a Local train to Kasara.

– Both Igatpuri and Kasara Station have private vehicles and buses regularly plying to Bhandardara, Pune and Akole; all of which stop by Bari. The buses start as early as 5am from Igatpuri Station.

TREKKING AT KALSUBAI

TIME REQUIRED FOR TREK   :  5-6 hours.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL :  EASY TO MEDIUM.

-Although a long trek, there are stairs which continue till the top of the peak. The metal ladder which is in good condition has been placed in rough patches which might be difficult to climb. Thus,making it quite accessible to beginner trekkers.

The trek route begins at Bari, which is the base village. There is a small temple which is 15 minutes away from the start of the trek route. People who can’t climb up till the peak take the blessings of the deity at this Kalsubai temple. There are patches of shade at frequent intervals which can be used to rest and enjoy the breeze which gushes through the mountain route often. A word of advice though – opt for a night trek (especially in Summer) or begin the journey as early as possible in the morning; as the scorching heat tends to dehydrate and tire the trekkers on what is a long trek route to the peak. Fortunately, there are little stalls serving buttermilk and lemon juice at various places on the route, which leave one feeling refreshed and energized.

For breakfast and lunch, you can head to this place called Kalsubai Tea Centre And Dharmaveer Lunch Home which serves tourists. snacks and meals near the base Village. In case you need details about their menu and location, here is their Contact no : 099234 42273

Camping at the peak is possible and a very enjoyable experience. If you are planning an overnight camp, you can carry your own tents and pitch them at a suitable corner on the summit. Typically, you will find clusters of tents at and around the peak during peak seasons.

Do note though, that there is no washroom facility or toilet at the top of the mountain. There is a washroom located only at the base village to freshen up.

Apart from the camping option, Hotel Trek Kalsubai is an alternative for a more comfortable stay. Not only does this hotel provide accommodation at the base village, but it also provides trekking and camping facilities like guides, tents, etc for the Kalsubai trail. Here is their Contact no : 083903 74971

Nights at the top of the mountain can get quite chilly and so carrying a jacket or blanket to wrap yourself with warmth is quite a must. While the temperature during the day ranges from 35°C to 28°C, it can dip as low as 12°C to 15°C at night.

WHAT TO PACK

The Kalsubai trek can be long and arduous, so it’s best to be prepared and carry the right gear. At the same time, overpacking leading to a heavy load on your shoulders can be counterproductive. So choose your gear well and ensure that it is lightweight, portable where possible. Here are some suggestions:

• Backpack: Ideal size would be 20-45 liters. Make sure it has a good carrying system with adequate padding and ideally a chest strap. We recommend the the Tatonka Pyrox 45 lit as top of the line trekking backpacks. This should have enough space for you to load up your tent and sleeping bag as well. For a day trek, even a good quality daypack/school bag will work – such as the  Deuter Futura 32 lit
• Shoes: Many people are seen undertaking a trek in flaoters etc. This will increase the risk of slipping significantly, especially during monsoons. We strongly recommend basic hiking or (trail) running shoes.
• Camera: Ideally a point and shoot with good zoom or a 360* camera , for capturing the scenic locations and/or Binoculars (one within a large group is enough)
• 2L Water Bottle per person
• Sweatshirt ( During winters)
• Torch / Headlamp , especially for night treks
• Dry Snacks like biscuits, wafers or nutty bars.
• Cap/ sunglasses
• Raincoat/ Poncho ( During Monsoons)
• Power Banks for charging electronic devices
• Hiking pole , especially if you have weak knees

If you are camping, you will also additionally need the following:

• A camping kit such as this or the following separately
• Tent (waterproof for monsoons)
• Sleeping bags (10* in winter, 20* in monsoon)
• Tent light/ lantern
• Peebuddy for women

SAFETY AND SECURITY

-The rocky patches and metal staircases often get slippery during monsoons and thus, some caution should be exercised while trekking. Invest in a sturdy pair of shoes with good grip!

– Take along a basic first-aid kit to help in case of injuries or emergencies.

-The main hospitals in this area for any medical emergency are : 1) Primary Health Care Center Ahmednagar; Maharashtra. Contact no :097628 30880 2) Samarth Hospital SH44; KolaharGhoti Road; AurangpurPhata; Contact no : 099222 64094

-The nearest police station is located at a distance of just 160 m from Bari village.

But Kalsubai’s significance goes beyond its impressive height. People have been coming here for ages to pay their respects to the local goddess. The name “Kalsubai” itself derived from a village woman named Kalsu who took up the challenging task of scaling the mountain. She couldn’t complete the task, but her efforts earned her the name of the mountain. Some cool stories and legends make this place even more special. It’s not just a trek; it’s a cultural journey.
