Kalsubai Peak Trek, with a height of 1646 meters or 5400 feet, is famous as the highest peak in Maharashtra. Kalsubai Mountain lies in the Sahyadri mountain range, falling under the Kalsubai Harishchandragad Wildlife Sanctuary.

Being the highest peak, Kalsubai commands a beautiful view. Since Bhandardara Dam and Kalsubai Peak are extremely famous, enough effort has been made to make this trek easy.
