Started from Mumbai to Pune via Shivneri Bus. After a brief stop at Pune at a fellow traveller's friend we proceeded the next morning for Kamalgad in his car. Approximately 3- 3.5 hr drive from Pune along the NH4 highway. Parked the car at the base village and proceeded on foot. A 4 hour trek to the top of the mountain where you are greeted by a small temple. We settled down at this place, set up our tent and started exploring the place. Packed with a amazing view of the mountain, it is a dream spot for an avid photographer. A small water stream is located at about 15-20min away from the trekking spot in the forest. Clear sky at night and great weather. Great memories. Suggested for new trekkers.

Suggested Travel period: Winters and trekking during summers can prove tiresome.

Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

Overnight stay at friend's place and leave early morning for Kamalgad
Isolated trekking spot with loads of serene views. Elevated trekking place ideal for great photographs. Cool weather and trek spot nestled within the forest.
