Where is Kalsubai Peak?

Kalsubai Peak, the highest point in Maharashtra, is located in the Akole taluka of Ahilyanagar district. Although situated in Ahilyanagar, it is very close to the Igatpuri taluka in Nashik district, making it easily accessible via road.

The road to Kalsubai Peak is via the Ghoti-Bhandardara route. Thousands of tourists visit this peak every year, which is one of the highest peaks in the country.

However, trekking enthusiasts usually walk to the summit. But for those who are unable to trek up to the peak on foot, the ropeway will make it much easier to reach the summit. This will provide a boost to tourism in the area.
