About this trek
What the day is actually like
Rajmachi is two fortified peaks, Shrivardhan and Manaranjan, standing over Udhewadi village in a broad green bowl. The walk in from Lonavala is long but gentle, mostly on a jeep track, which makes it one of the friendliest big-feeling treks in the range and a good one for a group with mixed fitness. In monsoon the whole valley runs with small waterfalls.
