Sandhan Valley Trek & Camping

Imagine walking along a 200ft deep gorge carved by water over a million years, as sunlight flickers though the moss covered crevices and the sound of your breath echoes against the narrow walls. At the enigmatic Sandhan Valley – affectionately known as Maharashtra’s very own Grand Canyon.

Rising 3000 ft. above sea level, Sandhan Valley is a deep natural crack in the scenic Sahyadri Mountains of Maharashtra. Located 180 kms away from Mumbai, near the beautiful Bhandardara region, the spectacular valley is almost two and half km long and nearby 500ft deep in some patches. Valley is surrounded by mighty Alang, Madan & Kulang (AMK), Ratangad, Ajoba & Kalsubai.

Trekking through the Sandhan Valley is an amazing experience. Hiking into this canyon’s spectacular chasm involves rappelling over rocky descends, wading through pools of cold mountain water and making your way through shadowy moss covered ravines. A naturally sculptured geological formation, the sides of the canyon are so narrow that even sunlight makes brief appearances. Hence, the name is “Valley of Shadows”.
