About Ajoba Hills Trek 

Ajoba Hills Trek is one of the highest peaks in Sahyadri. One of the best places to trek near Mumbai. Which can be climbed either from the eastern or from the western side. The climb from the eastern side takes a longer time. There is a Valmiki Ashram at halfway to the fort. The rest path to the top is said to be risky during monsoon. Near the Ashram, there is a small hut where we can stay. A small water stream provides us with pure water. The way beyond Ashram leads to a rivulet, crossing which we can reach the cave of ‘LUV-KUSH’. To reach this spot we have to ascend the way of the waterfall for one and a half hours. Above this cave, there is a precipice called ‘Cradle of Sitamai’. In the cave, there are the carved “Padukas” or the footprints of Luv and Kush. This precipice is a real challenge for trekkers. An ashram is a sacred place and people from all over Maharashtra come here. There are some carved stones near the ashram, on which some carved idols depict some story. Ajoba Trek is a popular trekking destination during the monsoon and winter season.
