K2S Night Trek

Trek Name : Katraj To Sinhagad
Type : Range Trek
Fort Range : Pune
District : Pune
Grade : Difficult
 

The Katraj to Sinhagad trek is one of the toughest treks around the city. This is popularly known as K2S. This is one of the dream treks of many of the trekkers. This is mostly done during the night so as to get the cool weather during the trek.  It is generally done on the Full Moon Night and many people do go here on the night of “Kojagiri Pournima”. 

The trek is approximately 15 Kms starting from the old Katraj Ghat Tunnel and ends at the Ghat road of Singhgad. It should take around 8 hours of hiking.  During the trek you climb over 13+ hills before reaching the shoulder of Sinhgad Fort. The first hill and the last 3 hills are the steepest, with a few steep descents in between, when crossing into the next valley. 

The trek will test your endurance and attitude. But its real fun to do it in the group. Joy of completing this is absolutely remarkable 

iCampers is planning this again post Covid for the first time. We wish to see you in this trek. The plan would be do it on Full Moon night and over the weekend.
