Andharban is one of the most famous trails in the Tamhini Wildlife area that starts from Pimpri village in Pune District, with the trail reaching the road head near the Bhira dam in Raigad District.

The trek is completely a descent from the starting point where we need to cross through the river streams, pass through the forest and plateaus where we experience the beautiful flora along with few breathtaking scenic views. The view from the Bhira Dam is surreal.

We will be leaving overnight from Mumbai by a hired vehicle to the starting point, have breakfast in the morning at villager's place, start the trek with a short break in midway for and trek towards Patnus village, We will be having an unlimited Veg Lunch at Patnus, and then return journey to Mumbai.
