Tandulwadi trek- An Invigorating trekking expedition in Maharashtra
The Tandulwadi trek which stayed located near the quaint town of Saphale in Maharashtra, is a secret and an offbeat trekking route that offers a blend of natural beauty, historical intrigue, and challenging terrain. This trek is perfect for adventure enthusiasts and history buffs alike that promises a fulfilling experience amidst the scenic landscapes of the Western Ghats.
As far as the trekking route is concerned, the trail winds through a mix of rocky paths, dense forests, and open plateaus.
