Takeoff description
The takeoff is motorable about 7 kms of off road driving will take you 2000feet high. From the point of parking your car takeoff is about 10 minutes walking distance. The takeoff area is big but a rocky. The place is isolated and forested so not suitable for venturing out alone.
Rules and notes
None as of now except using common sense of not disturbing the forest, people and culture or the region.
Pilot comments
Good site for flying close to Mumbai. The height difference provides a 15 minute flight to anyone who takeoff with his paraglider. This is a morning site and takes easterly winds. It is forested without much barren ridge top to give ridge lift. Newly found site which needs to be explored.
