About the Trek
The Umberkhind to Duke’s Nose trek takes participants through the scenic and historic landscapes of the Sahyadri ranges. The route passes through forest sections, rocky trails and open mountain stretches, offering a varied trekking experience.
Umberkhind is known for its historical significance as the site of the Battle of Umberkhind, where the forces of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj successfully defeated the Mughal forces in 1661. The trail towards Duke’s Nose, locally known as Nagphani, gradually leads into the Lonavala region and offers views of the surrounding valleys and Sahyadri ranges.
The trek provides participants with an opportunity to experience the natural landscape and learn about the region’s history while developing endurance, confidence, teamwork and outdoor skills.
