If you have more time, you can also visit the Bhimashankar Reserve Forest, which is home to several endangered species. You can also take a trip to the nearby Ozar and Lenyadri caves, which are famous for their ancient rock-cut temples. To make the most of your trip, we recommend starting early in the day, wearing comfortable shoes, carrying sufficient water and snacks, and hiring a local guide to explore the region.
