At 1,646 metres, Kalsubai is the highest peak in Maharashtra. Rising above the Sahyadris, it offers more than a summit to reach — it is a landscape of mountain ridges, deep valleys and a summit temple dedicated to Goddess Kalsubai.
Our Kalsubai Sunrise Trek begins with an overnight journey from Pune to Bari village, followed by a pre-dawn ascent towards the summit. As the darkness gives way to the first light, experience the changing landscape of the Sahyadris, weather permitting.
The climb demands stamina, preparation and care on the trail. Along the way, discover the mountain beyond its famous sunrise views, respect the cultural significance of the summit and experience the outdoors with a responsible trekking mindset.
Join Prawasvede to explore Kalsubai not just as a destination, but as a journey shaped by the landscape, its stories and the people who call this region home.
