Sandhan valley is a beautiful carved valley in magnificent Sayhadri mountain range, which is part of Western Ghats in Maharashtra. Surrounded with mighty and jaw-dropping mountains of Ratangad and Kalsubai, the valley stands at the height of 4255 ft high above sea level, which is the perfect spot for trekking and other adventure activities. The trek goes through 200 ft deep and 2 km long gorge carved by water between the narrow walls. The adventurous part of the trek kicks in when we are left to rappel down the 100 ft rocky patch with the help of experienced guides and equipment. Unlike all treks, we descend down in valley on the first day and climb up the next day. We camp in the valley and while descending, we have to rappel down at 3 spots. This trek is not for people who want to give up halfway! Entry to Sandhan Valley is Free, people who are just visitors and not prepared for the hike are recommended to not venture beyond the water pond. While on the trek, its must to carry Sleeping bag, sleeping mat, Food, you should be accomapnied by professional guides with rope equipment for rappelling and anchoring at few spots. We can arrange a trek for you to Sandhan Valley with the full package ie: Professional Guide, Climbing equipement, tents, sleeping bags, food etc.

Three weeks ago I had a chance to visit Sandhan Valley. Advised against by many because of the monsoons, I was adamant and took up this trip just for the sake of seeing the Reverse waterfall. And I must say it wasn’t a bad decision at all. Sandhan valley is a beautiful carved valley in the magnificent Sahyadri mountain range, which is a part of the mighty Western Ghats in Maharashtra. Since it was monsoon, the valley was not open for trekkers. But with a little help from the local guides, you can get to see the accessible portion of the valley and the Reverse waterfall. Reaching Sandhan valley from Mumbai: Train from Dadar to Igatpuri: Geetanjali Express, Sleeper Coach, Price: Rs. 175, Duration 2hrs Share auto from Igatpuri to Ghoti: Rs15, Duration: 20mins. There are some buses available but you will have to check their schedule. (Network is not that great after Ghoti) Share Taxi from Ghoti to Bhandardara: Rs.50, Duration : 1hr Share Taxi from Bhandardara to Samrad village(Sandhan Valley): Rs.50,Private Cab: Rs700 – Round Trip (Great bargain for a group), Duration: 1 hr After reaching Samrad village, we hired a local guide to show us a few points around Sandhan Valley. (Guide charges were Rs.300 for the group) 1st point: The actual valley. It was overflowing with water so could not walk in the water but he showed us a small waterfall. It was amazing. 2nd point: Reverse waterfall. This was at height of 2000ft and also the best part of the trip. You get completely drenched in water when standing beside it. Also, the guide threw a coin in the air near the reverse waterfall. The intensity of the wind was so high that the coin came back to us. The entire region was foggy and it was raining heavily that day. Do carry a good windcheater and good non-slippery shoes to walk around. We spent around an hour and half around the points. It was great to walk through the cold streams. Return Journey to Mumbai: Shared cab from Bhandardara to Fatak: Rs.10, Duration: 20min (is it that cheap?) Shared cab from Fatak to Kasara: Rs.100, Duration: 2hrs As there were no express trains from Igatpuri at that particular time (around 7pm), we had to board a local train from Kasara which took around 2 hours to reach Dadar. Getting your own mode of transportation would be the most suitable and suggested way of getting to Sandhan Valley because getting public transport is difficult as the timings are not fixed for the transport modes. The guide advised us to come back in October for the full trek which would be around 10hrs.He said they also provide packages for the trek. Overall, I would say that if you’re interested in checking out the Reverse waterfall then you must definitely visit this place.

Umbrella falls appear only when a gate is released from the wilson dam and luckily when we went it was in full flow owing to the incessant rains all through this month. The falls are unbelievably beautiful to say the least. Its a pretty easy trek reaching the core waterfalls where you can stand exactly in front of the magnificent falls and enjoy the downpour and mist. Standing there reminded me of dudhsagar waterfalls in many ways, although its not as huge as the latter. Nevertheless must experience the waterfall to truly appreciate it, words simply fall short.
