Harishchandragad Trek and Konkankada (Day 2)

We will ascend from Pachnai side which is the easiest of the three and descend from Khireshwar. The base village from which we are going to start our trek is called Pachnai village. The route from Pachnai is well marked. At all the places of tough climbs we have railings and iron ladders built by the officials to make the climb easier. Almost after an hour trek from the starting point we will see a massive vertical rock on one side and valley on the other. We will be walking along side this rock. 20 minutes from here we will reach to a flatland or a plateau where we can take a small break and hydrate ourselves. From this point Harishchandragad temple will take another 30 minutes. This is where we will be camping for the night. We will pitch our tents at the camping site and leave our luggage here and go on to explore the fort and surrounding places. 

We will be visiting Harishchandragad temple first. There is a cave called Kedareshwar cave adjacent to Harischandragad temple. In Kedareshwar cave there is a Shiva linga surrounded by water. Next we'll be visiting Saptatheertha Pushkarini which is a man-made lake. There are many caves nearby too. Incase if it rains heavily near the temple, we will be camping inside any of these caves. We will be heading to Konkan Kada for sunset. It is around a 15 minutes trek from the temple. You can witness Sahyadri's best sunset from Konkan Kada if the weather isn't cloudy. After sunset we will come back to our camping site, have dinner and retire for the night. 

Kalu waterfalls and return to Hyderabad (Day 3)

Wakeup early in the morning, have breakfast and start descending from Khireshwar to Pachnai

Route. This would be an easy to moderately graded trek. Then we will also get a chance to visit the historical Shiva temple, where you can see a 5 feet shiva statue. As you enter the temple you get good vibes. The temple is inside the caves, where you can see lord shiva resting in the water. Here, you can swim in the water to reach the lord, the water level would be up to chest level. All this gives you immense joy and pleasure, even knowing the temple's history. 
 

After spending some quality time here and witnessing the beauty and architecture of the temple, we would start our return journey.
