If you are fit and love to trek around on beautiful treks, then this is a must-to-do list when you are in Nashik. Kalsubai is in the Western Ghats at a height of 5400 feet above sea level. This is a moderate level trek and is meant for fit people, not necessarily you have done a trek before. To start, you can reach the hanuman mandir that is a few kilometers away from Bari town. The best time to visit this Kalsubai peak is all year around. You can experience monsoon trek from June up till August, then you can see bloom trek from September until October. November up till May, people prefer going on a night trek. Monsoon trek to this place is quite commendable with nice weather. On your way to Kalsubai, you will witness various beautiful landscapes full of gleaming water and pristine ranges of Western Ghats.
Kalsubai is a 6.6 km-long (4.1 mi) trek with an elevation gain of around 2,700 feet (820 m). This is a one-day trek having a moderately hard difficulty level, with lush green landscapes and multiple waterfalls. The peak attracts many trekkers and devotees determined to scale the mountain. To reach the summit there are well-designated trekking routes. The most popular route is through the eastern mountain face taking off from the base village Bari. The Waki river, a tributary of Pravara, takes origin on its eastern slope and flows like a stream through the outer fringes of Bari. A short distance away from the stream a Hanuman temple has been built. This provides an important landmark to commence the trek as well as a resting post for those nearing the final lap of their trek. The route from behind this temple takes the hiker straight to the summit. The trek along this route is a mix of easy to ascend slopes as well as treacherous rocky outcrops overlooking the valley below. Considering the increasing footfall in recent years, the government has built iron ladders along the vertical hill slopes. These assist trekkers to allow for a convenient and safe ascent.
The route via Indore is relatively unexplored as not many people are aware of it. Unlike the regular route via Bari, which has fixed ladders, cemented steps and several people flocking during the monsoon, the route via Indore is raw with stone steps and a huge iron chain for support at the dangerous patches.

This small fortress was no exemption. Aurangzeb's military assaulted the post, and his leaders threatened the Maratha realm saying that they would catch the stronghold in hours. Yet, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and his army opposed these assaults for seven years. In this manner, the Fort stayed with the Marathas for a period that was longer than the battling lives of the leaders of Aurangazeb's military. This Courage is the thing that composed Ramshej's name in brilliant words throughout the entire existence of Marathas. Ramshej Killa, along these lines, set an example for the Maratha-Mughal war. Afterward, Ramshej post was one of the 17 fortresses given up to the British in 1818 CE.
