Partial OSM line from named ways Kalsubai via Bari 729081375 + 866142927 + 1350432197 (ODbL). Hiking relations 11846480 and 18537668 were deleted from OSM (HTTP 410) and were not ingested. osmRelationId is unset. Summit node 4693883696. Season was not sourced. Member ways are untagged for sac_scale; SAC stays ungraded.
Published length 13.2 km is the Wikipedia trek distance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalsubai, accessed 2026-09-19, CC BY-SA), lastVerified 2026-09-19 — a cited round-trip/full-walk figure, still provisional. OSM 2.94 km (sheet; stored assembly 2.9 km) is the upper Bari path only and is a geometry note, not this figure. Never treat the partial line as the trek kilometre.
High 1,582 m is Copernicus GLO-30 on the stored Bari line (lastVerified 2026-09-19). Wikipedia cites 1,646 m (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalsubai, accessed 2026-09-19, CC BY-SA) as the peak landmark (highest in Maharashtra), not this figure. Low 824 m is the same DEM resample, verified. Ascent 751 m / descent 0 m remain provisional DEM.
