Kalsubai Peak

The history of Kalsubai Peak is intertwined with local folklore and religious beliefs. The name 'Kalsubai' is derived from a local legend about a woman named Kalsubai who is believed to have lived in the mountains. According to the legend, she was a kind and compassionate woman who served the villagers. However, to avoid harassment from the villagers, she disappeared into the mountains. The temple at the summit is dedicated to her, and it serves as a place of worship for the local communities. While there isn't a recorded historical event directly linked to the peak, its strategic location in the Sahyadri range might have played a role in regional trade routes and defense strategies in the past. Today, it stands as a symbol of natural beauty and spiritual significance, attracting trekkers and pilgrims from across the state.
