Facsinating Spots:-

It is the highest point in the Thane district. The forest surrounding Mahuli has been declared as a sanctuary. Once Shahaji Raje, father of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, had this fortress under his belt.Its better to take sufficient amount of water stock from temple itself since there isn't water source in the way. Its better to have someone with you who had already been here because the area at the top is very confusing. After reaching the top search for the caves only on the right side. Avoid going in months of March, April and May .Mahuli can be undertaken as an one day trek , though overnight stay in caves/dens could be quiet enjoyable. One can view Kalyan Darwaja as well as old Temple.

Water Availability:-
Water Tank is Available on Mahuli infront of "Devdya".but on Bhandargad there is not any source of water.So You must Carry atleast 2 ltr. of water for this trek.
