Mhasmal (713 m), Karjat
Mhasmal is a group of four pinnacles, exposed and difficult to climb. The best time to climb it is just after the monsoon when the upper scree settles. There is no drinking water near by and the route is steep. From Vangani railway station on Mumbai - Karjat line, travel to Goregaon by auto (3 km, six seater on sharing basis). Then walk on the road to Chinchli village (5 km). Climb a spur behind the village to forest an follow a track to reach a nullah. Follow the water nullah to reach the col between Chanderi and Mhasmal. The route is over boulders and scree over a steep route.
From the col follow the right steep route to the base of the pinnacles. Going around, reach the col between 2 nd and 3 rd pinnacles and climb to top of 2 nd pinnacle (30 m). A descent of 10 m on the other side and a final climb of 15 m leads to the top of the highest pinnacle. Be very careful while descending.
