Overview

Step into one of Maharashtra's most beautiful rainforest trails as you descend from the sacred hills of Bhimashankar to the picturesque village of Bhorgiri.

Unlike conventional treks that involve continuous climbing, this unique trail offers a refreshing downhill journey through the heart of the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary. Surrounded by towering trees, flowing streams, dense forests, and countless seasonal waterfalls, every section of the trail offers a new experience.

The trek begins near the famous Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga Temple and gradually winds through ancient forests that are home to rich biodiversity, including the Indian Giant Squirrel (Shekru), numerous bird species, and diverse Himalayan-Western Ghats flora.

As you walk deeper into the forest, you'll encounter refreshing river crossings, crystal-clear streams, hidden waterfalls, and the legendary Gupt Bhimashankar, where the sacred Bhima River is believed to originate before flowing underground.

During the monsoon, the entire sanctuary transforms into a lush green paradise, making this one of the most rewarding jungle treks in the Sahyadris.

Whether you're a first-time trekker, nature enthusiast, photographer, wildlife lover, or someone seeking a peaceful escape from city life, the Bhimashankar to Bhorgiri Jungle Trek offers an unforgettable outdoor experience.

Join Adventure Club Pune for a professionally organized trek where safety, expert guidance, and memorable adventures come together amidst nature.
