A trekking group has decided to tweak things and organise a moderately difficult trek to a secret location that is home to one of the state's northernmost forts nestled in the forests near Palghar. A two-hour trek will take you to the top of the fort, which offers a breathtaking view.
"Due to social media, popular trekking spots in Maharashtra have become crowded, with nearly 1,000 people visiting on weekends. These large numbers are degrading the topography, causing soil erosion and damaging vegetation," says Johann Daniels, founder of Jack and Hill adventures, the organiser.
"We want to organise treks to lesser explored mountains that are equally impressive. In order to not popularise locations, we only share the general area of the trek while the name of the site and it's exact location is undisclosed," he concludes.
On March 9, 2 pm meeting point Borivali railway station, Chinchpada, Borivali.
