We are back with our most loved camping event! On June 29 and 30, we’ll be climbing up the mountain of Prabalgad in Panvel. This is your chance to pitch a tent amongst clouds, at the height of 2300 Ft.
On this camping event, enjoy walking through a dense forest and locating birds, reptiles and small mammals. You’ll also get to experience the abundance of flora and fauna at the fort with ruins of old buildings and water tanks.
When you wake up the next day, you will be rewarded with a panoramic view of Matheran, its neighbouring hill-stations, Kalavantin Durg and not to forget a mesmerizing sunrise.
Moreover, you’ll get to gorge on some of the most delicious Maharashtrian food that you have ever come across.
One of the most notable moments of this trek is to get a glimpse of the stunning Kalavantin Durg. If you haven't heard about 'Kalavantin Durg', you should know that #Buzzfeed ranked this exotic destination at #11 in their blog on most beautiful abandoned places in the world!
About the location : Prabalgad lies on the Prabal plateau between Matheran and Panvel and one can easily spot it from the Mumbai-Pune expressway.
It was among the twenty-three forts that were handed over to the Mughal Empire. In 1658, the Marathas took over the fort once again. The fort was built to keep an eye on the ancient ports of Panvel and Kalyan.
The British Government wanted to develop Prabalgad as a hill station but were thwarted in this plan on account of the difficulties caused by the lack of water.
It sure goes deep down in history!
Difficulty Level:
The difficulty level of this trek is MODERATE, however this is an Endurance based trek.
This means the ease of climbing up to the summit is Moderate, however the duration of the trek is long. Participants must be mentally ready to walk for a few hours.
Uphill is approx 4 hours of trekking while downhill is shorter. There will be stops during the trek for rest and re-hydration.
If you haven't been for a trek, you should know that there is a lot of walking. Moderate treks begin to present more of a challenge to first time trekkers. So these treks are suitable for any walker looking for something a little more challenging and energetic. However, we believe that the best views come after the hardest climbs. The payoff is always equivalent to the effort.
At every summit, you are welcomed to the most majestic views & at the end of every trek, you learn that you are taking back home a lifetime of memories
Meet at CST Ticket Counter at 8:30 AM on June 29th
We board a train to Panvel Station followed by a local transport to the base of the mountain
From the base, we begin a pleasant trek to the base village located midway to the summit at Prabalmachi Plateau.
On arrival at Prabalmachi Plateau, we grab a quick lunch and soon leave to continue our trek upwards to the Prabalgad summit.
As we reach the summit, we set up camp and soak in the mesmerizing feeling of being enveloped by passing clouds. Before we retire for the night, we gorge on delicious Maharashtrian dinner prepared by the locals while enjoying the majestic sights the summit has to offer.
Day 2:
We wake up early to catch the sight of the first few rays of sunlight. Mornings are always beautiful when you're on top of the world
