Here is Simple & Easy Mini Trek For Kids Series by me.
With panoramic views of Hinjewadi with the most famous Subrata Roy Sahara Cricket Stadium kids will be happy to enjoy this 2 hours trek.
If you are from Pune city, catch train to Begadewadi to give them enjoyment of local train ride (or drive down from old Mumbai Pune highway)
From Begadewadi start walking to Ghorwadeshwar, refer to the route map below. However in case of doubt, on every Sunday morning almost 50~80 people arrive by morning train, so you can simple follow them 🙂
Blue dots shows the way you can climb up and the yellow dots shows the return way which passes through small but dense jungle .. kids will love it .. and its not hard to climb …
