Dholkal Trek

Dholkal trek is one of the newest additions in the trekking circuit of Central India. The 10kms both ways trek to Dholkal Ganesha has been extremely popular and a must-do while visiting Dantewada. Dholkal Ganesha is reached after crossing the thick forests of Bailadila ranges. The trek becomes all the more adventurous during and post monsoon with river crossings and small temporary waterfalls on the way. The trees here have huge natural swings which can be even used for sleeping. It is advisable to do the trek with a local guide because of the difficult terrain and to properly understand the flora and fauna of the region. The last 200m to reach the top are most challenging, but the views from the top make the trek all worthwhile. This is one of the most beautiful sunset points in Dantewada.

How to reach: Dholkal base is around 20 kms from Dantewada city and comes after Faraspal village
