Dhak Bahiri

Location:

To the east of Karjat and in the juxtapose to the Rajmachi lies this trek with thrilling rock patch. Get down at Karjat and then catch a bus for base village Sandshi (~ 20 km, 1st bus at around 4.30 am). A simple climb of about 2 1/2 hours will take you to a great col. Getting down of col and turning right will offer you a final rock patch. Half an hour rock patch will take you directly into the caves and Bhairoba temple.

Precaution: More than anything else, the utmost precaution needed is while negotiating the rock patch. A bit of here and there, and you could be down in the valley. However, you take enough care and you will enjoy this thrill......cent percent!

Sight Seeing:

Nothing really special here to see. However a spacious cave with ample water is really a surprise. One can combine a nearby trek to Dhak fort along with this.
