Andharban - A trail through the thicket forest and endless trudge.
A Jungle trail which passes through the thicket forest where sun rays barely touch the ground at some places, Trail which provides the magnificent and breathtaking views of mountain ranges of Tamhini ghat and Plus valley, known as source of Kundalika river. Trail which is truly a garden of purple flowers called Karvy which blooms once in 7 years and we were lucky enough to get purple Karvy carpet welcome in the forest. Trail passes through numerous waterfalls and streams and which covers you with shade in the first 6-8 kms of the trek and then a complete descend for another 3-4 kms which finally ends at Bhira dam.
