Overview :
Kalsubai is the highest peak in Maharashtra and provides breathtaking views of Sahyadri mountain ranges from the top. Kalsubai can be done in monsoon as well as winters. In monsoon you get to experience lush green views and powerful winds at the top. In winter ideally one can go for night trek and witness sunrise from the top and clear views of surrounding mountain ranges. Apart from this you get to climb multiple iron ladders to add to the thrill of this trek.
