Night Jungle Trekking
Description:
Immerse yourself in untamed nature and experience a completely different side of Sahyadri forest with a guided night hike through a moist Deciduous forest. The trek takes place in the Sahyadri Jungle, a wild expanse of dense forest, deep valleys, hidden caves and high mountains. And as you might expect, it’s inhabited by equally wild and interesting creatures, including foxes, cotton tail rabbits, Wild Boar, feral chickens and snakes. Experienced staff will lead you through the woodland by torchlight, highlighting the interesting features you pass and helping you to safely get the most out of your journey. Due to variations in season and weather, no two trips are identical, and there’s always something new and exciting to discover. Beginners are welcome, and no experience is required – just remember to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty! Flashlight in hand, hikers enter the jungle and follow the route through the rugged forest Trail. In the depths of Lonavala Valley, you will eventually reach the old secret village. From here the path swings back beneath the Sky Hole, which gives you a stunning view of the starry night sky – plus the chance to see some Firefly, also known as “Juganoo” in the Lonavala Jungle. After passing under a canopy of enormous leaves and on the waterfall trail, you’ll catch sight of the Cliff Tree. This giant banyan growing out of the rock face indicates that you’re on the home stretch, with just a short car ride between you and civilization!
