Gambhirgad is an isolated mountain amidst pristine forest about 140 Km north-east of Mumbai. It is a steep uphill climb, with tricky route-finding. The secluded wilderness has impressive rock formations and pinnacles. No water, shelter or human habitation on the mountain. Danger from wild bees and red ants. Occasional leopard sighting by villagers reported.
