The main attraction to Kalavantin Peak is the climb to Pinnacle. Steps have been carved in the mountain with no protection on one side with exposure. One has to be very careful in negotiating them. For many people, the trek ends here after looking at the exposure and size of steps. Monsoon time makes it more difficult wind adding to the difficulty after you climb the steps.
A small rock patch needs to be climbed a rope will help for beginners. Once you reach the top you can see Prabalgad, Chanderi, Peb, Matheran, Irshalgad, and Ulhas River. You can ask people going toPrabalgad to click your snap which offers a panoramic view of Kalavantin Durg.
