Ghanchakkar is the third highest peak in the Maharashtra State under Sahyadri mountain ranges in western India. Its neighbouring peak ''Muda'' is the fourth highest peak in the Maharashtra State under Sahyadris. ==Trekking== Ascents of the mountain are normally made from one of two base villages. Shirpunje village is located from Rajur and is situated on the northern side of the mountain. Using this village as a start point, the peak of Ghanchakkar can be reached in around 2.5 hours. Alternatively climbers often use Kumshet village as a base and is around from Rajur. This village is used as a stopover resting place for those who trek from Ratangad to Harishchandragad via Katrabai. From Kumshet there is no direct approach to Ghanchakkar, trekkers have to climb up to the Kartabai col and from there bypass the Wakri mountain and proceed towards Muda. Then one must walk across the connecting col between Muda and Ghanchakkar to reach the Ghanchakkar's peak. Hence from Kumshet village, climbing Ghanchakkar using this route is indirect and long-winded, taking about 4 hours. Being in a remote location, these mountains are hard to reach. Treks from Ratangad to Harishchandragad, may require descent into the Katrabai and then walk to Kumshet. Lack of adequate transport facilities such as public buses in this area, requires trekkers to rely on their private vehicles and Jeeps which operate between Rajur and Kumshet/Paachnai/Ambit Bhairavgad fort near Shirpunje village can be trekked if ample amount of time present. The photographs in this article are taken from the top of Bhairavgad near Shirpunje village. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghanchakkar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
