It is perhaps one of the most amazing treks in Sahyadri mountain range. Situated amidst thick forest cover of Tamhini ghat, Andharban jungle trek route presents you a very scenic nature trail. The Andharban trek route is an ancient travel path that joins Konkan region to Ghat Region. Experiencing the marvelous beauty of nature is the specialty of this trek. This area exhibits abundant natural beauty in the monsoon season.

Few parts of the region have so dense forest cover that rays of the sun can hardly make their way through trees. These trees stand right next to each other in a very congested fashion. Hence the name of this forest was kept as Andharban. In Marathi, Andhar means Dark and Ban means Forest (Andharban=Dark Forest).
