    There are many forts in Maharashtra that are very difficult to climb. Although difficulty level depends on a person but considering the expertise needed, total time for the trek and different activities involved for the trek, I am giving my opinion. One of the hardest treks in Maharashtra would be Lingana fort trek. Even regular trekkers consider it as a challenging trek. Lingana is a massive pinnacle. There were rock-cut steps to go to the fort. Unfortunately, these steps are destroyed now that makes Lingana fort almost inaccessible. There are other toughest treks in Maharashtra such as AMK fort trek, Salher fort trek, Bhairavgad trek, etc. Read more: http://bestindiantreks.com/toughest-most-difficult-treks-in-maharashtra/

Then why do people go on Katraj to Sinhagad night trek, you ask? Well it’s one of the most amazing treks near Pune. You will get an awesome views of the complete Pune city lights. It’s magical.

    I will recommend you to go with the groups. Going alone to the K2S night treks is not advisable. And its more fun if you have a company, right?

    Elephanta caves are in Gharapuri, Mumbai. It's an island on the east side of Mumbai not more than 10 km away. You need to take a ferry from Gateway of India to go to Elephanta Island.
