Kalsubai Night Trek - Sunrise Special 

Kaslubai is located in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, India. It is part of the Sahyadri mountain range and is renowned as the highest peak in Maharashtra as well as one of the most overcrowded treks.

Altitude:

The summit of Kaslubai stands at an elevation of approximately 1,646 meters (5,400 feet) above sea level.

Difficulty Level:

The trek to Kaslubai is considered moderately challenging. It involves a steep ascent to reach the peak, and some sections of the trail can be rocky and uneven.

Trek Duration:

The trek usually takes around 3 to 4 hours to reach the summit, depending on the starting point and the trekker's pace.

Trekking Season:

The best time to undertake the Kaslubai trek is during the post-monsoon season, from October to February. The weather during this period is generally pleasant, and the landscape is lush and green.

Age and Fitness:

The trek is open to people of various age groups, but it does require a reasonable level of fitness and stamina. Young children and elderly individuals might find the trek challenging.

Group Size:

Trekkers can choose to do the Kaslubai trek individually or in groups, but one should never go to trek locations on their own as it involves life-risk. Always plan to go for trekking with a professional and reputed trek group. The group size may vary based on the preference of the trekkers or the trekking organizers. Low cost trek groups have large batch size ranging from 80-150 people, if you dont like to be treated like sheep, avoid signing up on cheap deals. 

Ecology of Kalsubai forest:

Kaslubai and its surroundings are home to diverse flora and fauna. Trekkers are encouraged to practice responsible trekking, such as not leaving any trash behind and respecting the natural environment.

Cultural Significance of Kalsubai

Kalsubai is not only a trekking location, there is great cultural importance to the location too. There's a temple dedicated to Kalsubai, it is a prime pilgrimage spot during Navratri.

Safety Tips for Kalsubai Trek

• During Monsoon: One should wear proper trekking shoes with good grip during monsoon, carry rain gear with you and be careful on slippery patches.
• Winters: Carry proper jackets or layer up during winters, the peak gets too cold.
• Keep drinking water, stay hydrated.

Update as on October 23, 2024 

The weather is not suitable for one day treks, Kalsubai will still be the best trek as it's a night trek. Winters in Mumbai are famous for night treks. Next batches are scheduled on November 02, 2024 and  November 09, 2024. During daytime the temperatures go from 18°C to 25°C. Light mist often settles in the early mornings and evenings, giving trekkers a unique view as they ascend Maharashtra's highest peak.

Beware! Low-Cost trek groups often have large batch-size, this results in unsafe over-crowded trek experience which is not at all worth. Mischief Treks is renowned for conducting treks with a limited number of participants in each batch, this helps having a much better trekking experience.

Policy Logic and Reason: The basis of the cancelation policy is to protect the participant and the organizers from undue financial losses arising out of unforeseen situations. If the event gets canceled due to the medical/personal emergency of the organising team member, the participants will not have to suffer financial loss. Similarly, if there is a medical/personal emergency at the participant's end, the organizing team will not have to suffer financial loss.
