It\u2019s April in Mumbai and the temperature is climbing. The next 3\u20134 weeks are your last window for comfortable trekking before the monsoon begins in June. Once the humidity locks in, most Sahyadri trails become either dangerously slippery or physically punishing by mid-morning \u2014 this narrow April window is when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a two- to three-hour radius of the city, the landscape is still generous: forested trails in Malshej, fort ruins in Lonavala, exposed ridgelines near Karjat, and summit routes that test endurance without overwhelming first-timers. April treks demand a few adjustments \u2014 early starts, more water, route awareness \u2014 but the views across the layered Western Ghats are still worth every step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been postponing that sunrise climb or weekend fort trek, this is your last realistic window before June. Here are ten routes still worth doing in April \u2014 before the monsoon changes the terrain entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April Trekking Tips (read before you go):<\/strong>
\u2022 Start all treks by 6am \u2014 temperatures rise sharply after 9am
\u2022 Carry minimum 2 litres of water per person; 3+ litres for longer routes
\u2022 Avoid south-facing exposed routes after 11am \u2014 radiated heat from rock faces is significant
\u2022 Some routes rated \u201ceasy\u201d in winter are moderate-to-hard in April due to heat
