The Panhala to Pawankhind trek is a historically significant and adventurous trail in Maharashtra, India. This trek retraces the legendary escape route taken by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his forces in 1660 AD, when they fled from Panhala Fort to evade the besieging army of Siddi Jauhar. The trek covers approximately 50 kilometers, passing through rugged terrain, dense forests, and scenic plateaus, offering a challenging yet rewarding experience for trekkers.
