The easiest first treks in Maharashtra are\u00a0Sinhagad, Korigad, Karnala and Lohagad, with\u00a0Garbett Plateau\u00a0as an easy walk rather than a climb.\u00a0Visapur, Tikona and Rajmachi\u00a0are step-ups. For a first trek, the best season is\u00a0October to February, when trails are dry and green. In the monsoon (June to September), many popular forts are covered by district safety orders, so first-timers should check the current order before going and pick the gentlest route.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Most “monsoon trek for beginners” lists tell you to go as early as the rains arrive. That advice ignores what matters: in the Sahyadris, the monsoon closes forts, turns trails into streams, and makes rock slick. This guide covers eight easy treks near Mumbai and Pune, sorted by how forgiving they are, with a plain note on what changes in the rains. We have not rated them with a made-up score. The difficulty levels are editorial judgements, and we say so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
