About The Event
Tucked deep in the Sahyadris near Malshej Ghat, the Aadrai Jungle Trek is a monsoon marvel that feels straight out of a rainforest dream. With moss-covered trees, mist-laden trails, hidden waterfalls, and panoramic valley views, Aadrai is one of the most magical monsoon treks near Mumbai and Pune.
🌳 Why Trek to Aadrai Jungle?
The name ‘Aadrai’ literally means "the deep forest", and that’s exactly what this trek offers—an untouched, offbeat trail through thick woods. It features:
A scenic 6–7 km forest trail with streams and slippery roots
Hidden Aadrai Waterfall, surrounded by lush cliffs and ferns
Spectacular views of Naneghat valley, Kalu Waterfall & Bhairavgad
Forest canopies that remain cool and green even during heavy rains
The trail is relatively new and still undiscovered by mass tourism, making it ideal for nature lovers looking for a peaceful yet adventurous monsoon escape.
