The Shinde Wadi Hills is located at a distance of around 2 km from the small town of Kamshet. Luscious, fresh and a huge haunt for picnics, the locals love the freshness and revitalizing essence of the Shinde Wadi Hills.

Historically, this destination holds significant importance. It is strongly rumoured that in a battle between the British and the Marathas, this was the place from where Madhavrao Shinde's soldiers fired a cannon from the top of the hill to stop the advancing British Battalion and ended up blowing off the head of the leader of the advancing British Battalion.

Another fascinating feature of these Hills is that it is a major hub for paragliding, with both professionals and amateurs flocking here to try their hand at this adventure sport. The gentle sloping hill is especially famous amongst the trainees of paragliding and is ideal for beginners in particular.

Whether you’re looking to check off ‘paraglide’ from the list of things you must do or if you’re just looking to get lost in the serenity and solitude of the hills, the Shinde Wadi Hills will exceed all your expectations and leaving you wanting to return.
