About Celestrek
Celestrek is a platform dedicated to trekking and stargazing experiences near Mumbai, with a strong focus on the breathtaking Sahyadri mountain range. Whether you’re a first-time trekker or a seasoned explorer, Celestrek is built to guide every step of your outdoor journey with clarity and confidence.
Backed by more than 14 years of hands-on trekking experience across the Sahyadris, Celestrek was created to share real, ground-tested insights, practical knowledge, and a deeper connection with the natural world.
Our Story
Trekking was never just a hobby. Over time, it became a way of life.
From pre-dawn hikes through mist-covered valleys to night treks under vast open skies, the Sahyadris have consistently offered experiences that are raw, challenging, and deeply rewarding.
Over the years, stargazing naturally became a part of this journey. Stepping away from city lights and observing the night sky in its true form adds a completely different dimension to outdoor exploration.
Celestrek grew out of these experiences. It is a space where trekking and stargazing come together, made simple and accessible for anyone who wants to explore beyond the routine.
