Plus Valley

Plus Valley Trek

Plus Valley is situated in Tamhini ghat and is around 60-65 km from Pune.
Its named as Plus valley as from the top view we can see the valley has a kind of plus. Its a descending first and then ascending trek with hard endurance.

 

We started early from Pune so that we could  start ascending before the sun reaches us as it make harder to ascend. Around 4AM we left from Hinjewadi and by 6AM we reached the starting point however, it was still dark so we waited there only. Small Sitting area is available there.

If you are travelling from Pune and plan to have meal in middle, you can visit the restaurant Hotel river place. Breakfast and lunch  is available there, it can accommodate around 80+ persons in once. Another option is Sai resorts which is little better in terms of ambience and service

Around 7AM it was clear visibility and we started to descend. Its basically Scree part in begining then there comes rocky part and in then mix of rocks and jungle area. Around 8AM we reached the main point also know as infinity point . We had some breakfast there which we did take with us and captured pics. Once our photography sessions ended around 9 AM we started to ascend.

As easy as the descend part was as hard it is to ascend. It took me 6 breaks in between to finish it
Around 10.15 we reached the top though and left for Pune.

Though the trell is clear still if you feel to confirm you can refer to these orange ribbons which fellow trekkers have tied there. The water of plus valley is then falls to Devkund waterfall.
  

On the other side of plus valley you can see the top where Andharban Trek's trail passes. The kundalika valley and plus valley can also be seen from this location, however the best view of Kundalika Valley you can see when Doing Andharban Trek.
