Khandas to Bhimashankar: A Tale of Valentine's Day Trek

[…] Nomads of India – Bhimashankar Trek Complete Guide […]

Bhimashanker Trek

Amartya Saha

Have done this trek in all seasons at least 12 times, but looong ago, in 1993-1995, when I live sun kashele. Looking forward to revisit soon!

Is it possible to trek bhimashankar by solo

Yes, you can do it solo, provided you’ve done few treks before. If you’re a beginner, please go with an experienced trekker or you can hire a guide from the base village (Khandas)

The information that you’ve provided is incorrect. Shidi Ghat is definitely shorter but more challenging than Ganesh Ghat route. There are a few risky sections to navigate near the iron ladder on the Shidi Ghat route. Any trekker will vouch by this. Secondly, last year (Aug 2023) the Shidi Ghat has been closed indefinitely by the Forest Dept due to an accident where a trek leader fell to his death while negotiating that risky patch during monsoons. Please rectify the information on the blog so that others aren’t misled into believing that Shidi Ghat is easier.

Happy Trekking
