We will technically enter a hill station area that is a bio-hub in the state. After a brief break atop, we make our way down just as we arrived.

Additional Information

This trekking path is one of the rare unspoiled hidden paths in the vicinity of Mumbai. It’s isolated and distant from masses & turmoil, which is currently commonplace at the majority of trekking locations in the metropolis.

The journey leads us over a crest that provides a nearly complete 360 panoramic scene overlooking an enormous lake.

The terrain remains unscathed by human intervention and maintains its wild & unprocessed state. The region is densely blanketed in shrubs and grassland. This explains why this location has been our hiking host for the last decade.

Location
CST Railway Station

Another great adventure with Jack And Hill! my highest recommendation once again. - This is my third outing With Jack And Hill Adventures, and all have been exceptional experiences. It is so refreshing to leave Mumbai for the countryside, and enjoy a day trekking. Our guide once again was Samuel Corda, who is an experienced outdoorsman, extremely knowledgeable, conversant, and engaging… and an expert naturalist as well! In addition to a beautiful track, we learned so much about the floor and fauna in this area of India .

Wild and Evergreen - As a nature and adventure enthusiast the recent trek Cafe Ideal was indeed an ideal escape from Mumbai's maddening crowd,overwhelming traffic and social media influencers.. An enthralling forest trail experiencing nature at its best... A virgin forest in the truest sense. Calm, serene, untouched and unexplored....it was truly magical and cinematic. Thanks Jack&Hill Adventures for such a healing forest walk to create lasting peace and serenity.

Fantastic escape from busy Mumbai - Travelled solo to Mumbai for work and booked this hike for a Sunday. Early start but highly recommended to anybody who loves hiking. Despite being summer, so not as green as monsoon, incredibly scenic and a great opportunity to see rural India too Johann is a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and easy conversation. He goes at the pace of the walker and very respectful of nature and the way of life of the villagers. We didn’t see anybody else other than the villagers on our hike. This isn’t mass market which adds to the experience. Highly recommended! Great memories!

Another great outdoor adventure from Jack and Hill .... - This guided hike departs from a small rural village and ascends through varied ecosystems including open savannah and richly forested areas. A vigorous hike up to an old Hill Station... the only other people we encountered were a few villagers going about their daily routines. Sam Corda, my guide, is an enthusiastic outdoorsman with a wealth of experience and knowledge to share. This was a very welcome break for the frenetic pace of Mumbai. An easy day excursion from If you are into hiking and cycling, use Jack and Hill Adventures for wonderfully curated active adventures. First class...
