Your adventure begins with reporting at Pune Railway Station at 8:30 PM for participants arriving from Mumbai, while Pune participants are required to report at Katraj Bus Stand at 9:30 PM. From the reporting point, a hired vehicle will transport the group to the K2S Trail starting point, where the trek leader will conduct a detailed briefing covering the route, safety guidelines, trail discipline, and important instructions before the hike begins.

The legendary Katraj to Sinhagad (K2S) Trail starts soon after, offering one of Maharashtra's most iconic endurance hikes. Stretching across the ridgelines of the Sahyadri mountains, the trail takes approximately six hours and passes through a series of hills, forest paths, open plateaus, and rocky sections. Throughout the hike, trekkers are rewarded with breathtaking night views of Pune city, peaceful mountain landscapes, and the unique experience of traversing multiple hilltops under the stars. The route demands good stamina and provides an exciting challenge for experienced hikers looking to test their endurance.

Upon reaching the endpoint near Sinhagad, enjoy a refreshing tea break while celebrating the successful completion of this classic ridge traverse. After relaxing for about 30 minutes, board a hired jeep for the one-hour journey back to Katraj Bus Stand.

Participants may also choose to continue their journey independently, as buses from Askarwadi to Pune city are available approximately every 30 minutes, and intercity cabs are readily accessible. The adventure concludes with unforgettable memories of completing one of the most celebrated long-distance night hikes in the Sahyadri mountain ranges.
