The Bhorgiri to Bhimashankar trek is a spiritually enriching and ecologically significant trail that winds through the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary, a UNESCO-recognized biodiversity hotspot. Starting from Bhorgiri village, about 95 km from Pune, the route takes you through pristine forest, remote tribal hamlets, and across gurgling streams. Rich in flora and fauna, this route offers glimpses of endemic species including the elusive Indian Giant Squirrel (Shekru). The trek culminates at the ancient Bhimashankar Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Along the way, you may also come across ancient shrines, hidden caves, and panoramic valley views—making this one of the most soulful treks in the Sahyadris.
