Amba Dongar
Nashik/Western Ghats region
If you are looking for a truly offbeat summit in the Nashik side of the Western Ghats, Amba Dongar is a great choice. At 879 metres it is not a hard climb, but it is remote, with no shops or facilities anywhere near the trail. Plan it as a full-day outing and carry all your food and water from the base. What you get in return is a quiet hill landscape and a route very few trekkers ever walk. It suits people who have done the popular treks and want something raw.
