Sandhan Valley full descend trek is not just an ordinary trek, but it’s a route that helps you overcome your fear and takes you a step closer to Mother Nature. The Great Grand Dad of all Treks – The Valley of Shadows Where you’ll hardly get to see the sunlight, isolated from the outer world, dead silence, passing through water ponds, lifeless rocks, and boulders, rappelling and echoes of your footsteps will make you feel like a presence of some entity, sleeping nearby the  waterfall with the nocturnal creatures in freezing temperature. You’ll remember this 48 hours throughout your lifetime.
Sandhan Valley, crowned as “Grand Canyon of Sahyadris” and “Valley of Shadows’, is a rock cut way formed between 2 mountain walls offering a great combination of adventure activities such as trekking, rappelling, and night camping.
