A trek through [[Chiplun (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Chiplun]] to reach Marleshwar Temple is a 3-day trek from [[Helwak]] through [[Chandoli National Park|Chandoli]] Forest. Since it is not a one-day trek, the destinations are broken down. One the first day, the trekkers may cover Ram Ghal, Bhairav Gad and Patharpunj Village. The second day may include reaching Prachit Gad through the dense Chandoli Forest and Chandel Village. And on the third day, one can cover Kundi Village, Mahimar Gad, and Marleshwar. If the time and occasion call for an unplanned stay at one of the villages, it can become a 4 to 5 day-long exciting adventure.<ref name=":0" /><br />
