Gaolan Dongar
Baglan/Ahava border area in the Western Ghats
If you are looking for a high and remote summit in the Western Ghats, Gaolan Dongar is a great choice. At 1,299 metres, this border hill on the Baglan-Ahava side gives you big views over some of the least-visited country in the range. Plan it as a full-day outing and carry everything you need, because there is nothing at the base. It is about 285 km from Mumbai, so it works best as part of a Nashik-side weekend. This one is for trekkers who have done the famous summits and want real solitude.
