The Panshet cycle circuit is a very beautiful and scenic route of about 80 to 90 km. On the left side of the Panshet Dam, the stretch via Shirkoli is about 30–40 km, but the road is a bit rough with ups and downs. The weather is excellent from August to February.

Beautiful trek with near 360° view of the lush green valley. Need to carry a raincoat as it's Kerala :) Be careful of the leeches. A good pair of hiking shoes and a torch is a must.

Komoot elevation profile isn’t that accurate here, first section is relatively steep but then flattens earlier than Komoot said when I planned it, last section very steep, scrambling involved and a couple of bits of rope to help you up the rock. Would imagine this walk would be very challenging in wet weather.

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.
