西ガーツ山脈のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A great hike along the top of the ridge and through the tea plantation back to Old Munnar! But: We got into real trouble with two different people, one a guide and the other a plantation worker, because we didn't have a permit and were threatened with a 5,000 rupee fine. It was annoying, and only after 100 apologies did he let us go. But again: A very worthwhile tour!

Bring 3l water and cash!

The tour guides don't like it if you do the hike without a guide. However, it is possible to do the tour alone.

A little off the beaten track, about 50 km from Pune, you can easily hike this mountain. If you think you're alone there, you're wrong... the Indians from the city take the opportunity to make a trip up here. Sinhagad is an ancient hilltop fortress that used to be the bloody scene of many battles. Specifically, the Battle of Sinhagad in 1670. Opening hours are always from 6am to 6pm.

Beautiful place to observe the sun rising. We were lucky enough to assist to a full-moonset at the same time. This is the 3rd peak or a series of 5. You can continue a bit further to see the sun lower in the sky.
