Gorakhgad Trek
Gorakhgad, Maharashtra 421401, India (Thane)
If you are looking for a dramatic pinnacle trek near Thane, Gorakhgad is a great choice. The fort rises as a steep rock spike out of the Murbad-side forests, and the final climb up its rock-cut steps is genuinely thrilling. It is a moderate day trek, about 98 km from Mumbai, often paired with nearby Machindragad. The top is small but the views over the Sahyadri ridges are superb, especially after the monsoon. June to February is the season, though the rock needs care when wet.
