The rescuers faced the eerie quiet of the forest as they descended into the 1,800-foot-deep valley near the historic site. The deceased were later identified as Rohit Salunke, a 22-year-old engineer from Silvassa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Ganesh Honrao, also 22, who had been missing since 2021.
Harishchandra Fort, originally dating back to the 6th century during the rule of the Kalchuri dynasty, is a popular trekking destination known for its breathtaking views of the Western Ghats.
Rohit Salunke's disappearance on June 18, 2024, during a trekking expedition, initially prompted the search.
The operation, which was hindered by heavy rains, resumed months later at the insistence of his family, led rescuers, involving police, villagers and trekkers, to the discovery of skeletal remains belonging to Honrao, just 100 metres away from Salunke's.
Police believe Honrao's remains had gone unnoticed for years until the renewed search.
