Harishchandragad and Kokankada via Pachnai
About this trek
Harishchandragad stands where the Malshej range breaks off into the Konkan. On its western edge, Kokankada curves away in a sheer cliff hundreds of metres high, one of the most striking views in the Sahyadris. The top holds the Harishchandreshwar temple, cut from the rock, the Saptatirtha tank beside it, and Kedareshwar cave, where a Shiva linga stands in cold, waist-deep water. Taramati, the highest point, looks over all of it. The route from Pachnai is the gentlest of the ways up: a forest path with a few rocky steps. In September and October the plateau is covered in Karvi and other flowers of the season.
