Don’t let a goal go unfinished. I was extremely excited over this Balwantgad trek. In the past week I had completed Kavnai Fort trek. Because we started in the early hours of the dawn to go to Kavnai I had planned to do Balwantgad and Balwantgad on the same day. We didn’t manage to make it. This is why Balwantgad was included on my “Treks to Complete” list. Balwantgad is located in the Kasara region. Prashant Deshmukh Raj Thakkar and my wife Shivani Shah were my co-trekkers for this hike.
Summary of Balwantgad Route of the Balwantgad Trek:
- Mumbai – Kasara station (By Train 30 Rs. per head)
- Kasara Station – Mal Phata ( Local shared the Jeep for Rs.30/Head) and begin walking to the starting point of the trek.
OR
- Kasara Station – Starting point of the Trek (By Local sharing Jeep heading toward MAL Village Rs.30/Head).
- Inform driver to drop you off at the starting point.
