One of the difficult treks in sahyadris, it you are an amid trekker you won't get that much preparation i believe. If you are beginner better you shouldn't start with Lingana.
Check out Bhandardara, dist. Ahmednagar. It's an amazingly beautiful place. There's mountains all around. Bhandardara is situated in the midst of Sahyadri range. You must visit this place once at least. Check out The Land Of Wanderlust (TLOW) website..... https://thelandofwanderlust.com/
