Where is Harishchandragad? Are Harishchandragad and Kokankada two different places?
A hill fort in Malshej Ghat, Harishchandragad is one of the most difficult forts in Maharashtra. The area comes under the Kalsubai Harishchandragad wildlife sanctuary. There are major three routes for the Harishchandragad trek. Although it is one of the toughest treks in Maharashtra, the difficulty level is subjective and depend on the trek route. Paachnai, Khireshwar and Walhivare (Belpada) are 3 base villages for this trek.
Kokankada is an overhung cliff on the massive Harishchandragad fort. Kokankada is on the west side of the fort facing the Kokan area. That is the reason this cliff is known as Kokankada.
Interesting Fact: Base jumper Nikolas Winter jumped from the Kokankada wearing his wingsuit in Jan 2017. This jump is considered the first wingsuit base jump in Maharashtra. (Source: Youtube-Rohit Vartak Climb & Slack)
