Kalsubai trek during the monsoon season can be an exhilarating experience. Kalsubai is the highest peak in Maharashtra, India, standing at 1,646 meters (5,400 feet) above sea level. The trek offers stunning views of lush greenery, waterfalls, and mist-covered valleys during the monsoon.
However, trekking during the monsoon also comes with its challenges. The trails can be slippery, and there might be leeches, so it's important to wear appropriate footwear and clothing. It's also essential to check the weather forecast and avoid trekking during heavy rainfall or thunderstorms, as it can be dangerous.
Before embarking on the trek, make sure you're well-prepared with enough water, snacks, a first aid kit, and any necessary trekking gear. It's also a good idea to go with a knowledgeable guide or in a group, especially if you're not familiar with the area.
