Sightseeing

Embarking on the trek to Rajmachi Reserve Forest from the Captans Homestay is a journey into the heart of nature's splendor. Beginning at 6:30 am ensures you have ample daylight to navigate the 11-kilometer stretch one way and return before sunset. Remember to pack drinking water and snacks, as there are no commercial points along the way. Although the route is isolated, sporadic mobile network coverage offers some connectivity. Navigating the path is essential, as the road is not suitable for motor vehicles, except for bikes or 4-wheel drives. The best time to undertake this adventure is between August and February when the weather is favorable. However, if you're enchanted by the allure of heavy downpours and cascading waterfalls, June holds its own charm as nature awakens in full splendor. Trekking through Rajmachi Reserve Forest promises an unforgettable communion with the pristine beauty of the Western Ghats.
