Andharban simply translates to “Dark Dense Forest” from its name. This walk is one of the Sahyadri’s most invigorating excursions during the monsoon season. The Sahyadri range, which connects the Tamhini Ghat to the well-known Konkan region, has no equal when it comes to beauty.
The Andharban trip is the ideal location for any hiker who wants to enjoy the delight of exploring deep woods with breathtaking vistas. It is situated in the Pimpri region of Maharashtra, about 16 kilometers from the well-known city of Pune. Imagine yourself strolling down a nature trail in the middle of a dense forest, surrounded by the sounds of rustling leaves, birds tweeting, insects buzzing, and gushing waterfalls spilling over rocks.
