Kalsubai Peak, standing at 1,646 meters (5,400 feet), is the highest peak in Maharashtra. It is located in the Western Ghats (Sahyadri range) near Bhandardara, in Akole taluka of Ahmednagar (Ahilyanagar) district.

  

 Peak is named after a local Koli girl named Kalsu, who is central to the mountain's legend. According to the story, Kalsu worked for a Koli family under the condition that she would not be required to clean pots or sweep. When she was ordered to do so, she complied but then climbed the hill and remained there until her death, seeking freedom from her duties. The places where she performed these tasks are known as Thale Mel (where she cleaned pots) and Kaldara (where she cleared litter).

The peak holds religious significance, with a temple dedicated to Goddess Kalsubai at its summit, believed to have been built in her honor after her disappearance. This temple is a place of worship, especially during the Navratri festival, when special prayers and celebrations are held. The mountain is also associated with historical importance, having been used for surveillance during the Maratha rule due to its commanding view of surrounding forts and the Bhandardara Dam.
