Night Trek to Kalavantin Durg | Mumbai Mountain Hikers

Kalavantin is located between Matheran and Panvel in the Indian state of Maharashtra, in the Western Ghats. It was built on a plateau very close to Matheran, but unlike Matheran it does not have a good source of water. It was known as Muranjan until it was taken over and renamed by the Maratha forces under Shivaji Maharaj rule. Prabalmachi is the midway base village for two famous treks named Prabalgad and Kalavantin. Prabalmachi offers breathtaking view of both Prabalgad and Kalavantin, with a scenic valley view of Panvel outskirts. Nothing can beat Prabalmachi when it comes to location, weather and food. It also offers a small trek through the forest which has potential Wildlife.
