History Of Plus Valley Trek

Kolad, Maharashtra, India
Plus Valley Trek is a unique trekking destination located in the heart of the Tamhini Ghat near Kolad. The valley gets its name because, when viewed from certain vantage points, the topography resembles a mathematical "plus" symbol. Unlike many other treks in the Sahyadris that involve climbing up a mountain, this trek is primarily a descent into a deep, lush valley. The trail takes you through dense forest patches, rocky terrains, and beautiful waterfalls that come alive during the Monsoon. The trek is considered moderately difficult and is a favorite among adventure enthusiasts from Mumbai and Pune. As you descend, the air becomes cooler and the surrounding hills seem to rise higher around you. The valley is home to diverse flora and fauna, making it a paradise for nature photographers. At the base of the valley, there are serene ponds and a waterfall where trekkers often take a refreshing dip. The silence of the forest is only broken by the chirping of birds and the sound of gushing water. It is an ideal spot for camping under the stars, provided you have the right gear and permissions. The trek offers a perfect blend of physical challenge and natural beauty. The trek usually takes about 5 to 6 hours to complete, including the return journey which involves a steep climb back to the starting point. It is highly recommended to go with a local guide, especially during the rainy season when the trails can become slippery and confusing.
