As i trekker my dream was to do Sandhan valley trek once, and i did it in year end of 2017. My experience was wonderful.
Sandhan valley is one of the greatest canyons in the Sahyadri mountain ranges. It is a very good combination of a canyon and a valley. Located in the Ahmednagar district, near the famous fort Ratangad; Sandhan valley is undoubtedly “The Valley of Suspense”. Walking through the narrow streak of valley with 300 ft rock walls on both the sides is a lifetime experience. Descending full Sandhan valley is always a memorable outing and the overnight stay under the sparkling sky, along the reservoir side is a sweet cherry on the cake !
It is accessible from Nov to May. Sandhan Valley trek starts from Samrad village. Rest of the day it is filled with rain waters .Total trek time is around 7-9 hours (Depend on weather and water level)which includes rappelling and crossing pool of water. and deep gorges and one of its kind of lifetime experience which you feel at end of the trek.
It is all rocky patch though out the trek.
