Head to Asia’s second-largest canyon, Sandhan valley in Maharashtra and explore an array of adventurous options from rappelling to zip lining and so much more.  

Explore The Valley Of Shadows

Situated in the immaculate Sahyadri ranges is the beautiful carved Sandhan valley. The valley is around 200ft deep and is popularly known as the valley of shadows. It is called so because of less than 3 feet of space between the rocks that obstruct sunlight. Between two high cliff walls of a mountain range, this  Asia’s second-largest canyon consists of a deeply grooved narrow ravine with a rock floor.
