Brief Introduction to Korigad -

Korigad is situated about 20 km away from Lonavala in Pune District. It is built near the Savashni Ghat, which connects Lonavla and Pali. This Fort is well known for its intact fortification and most interesting part is that its wall is completely intact and one can walk along its entire perimeter(about 2 km).

Korigad appears like a wall from Peth. On the top of the fort is a huge plateau.There are two large ponds on this fort and ahead of them are two caves. Here we can

see the idol of lord Vishnu holding the Conch, Discus, Mace and Lotus flower. Beautiful view of Tung, Tikona, Matheran, Prabalgad, Karnala and Manikgad ranges mesmerizes all the trekkers from the top of the fort.

TREK TO PEB FORT on 22July 2012

TIE TREK TO PEB FORT Brief Introduction to Peb fort- Fort Peb is situated on northeast side of Panvel, on Mumbai-Pune road, at a distance of 3-4 km on west side of Neral. To avoid crowd at hill stations like Matheran, nature lovers must visit the nearby fort Peb. This is the most beautiful one-day trek. One would find Peb similar to Gorakhgad in terms of the time required to climb the fort, ways towards the fort, the cave and the surrounding nature. But there is a dense forest on the way to the fort Peb. Nowadays deforestation has reduced it a lot. The fort is also named as ‘VikatGad’.

TIE TREK TO ROYAL RAJGAD

DATE- 7th JULY- 8th JULY 2012 (stay trek) GRADE:- MEDIUM RAJGAD FORT – CAPITAL FORT OF “HINDAVI SWARAJYA”. Rajgad fort was recognized as first political base of “Hindavi Swarajya”. It still can be witnessed as an unchallangable, undisputable and unconquerable fort in ‘Hindavi Swarajya’. A ‘Murumbadev’ mountain stands adjacent to the vally formed due to Nire, Velvandi, Kanandi and Gunjavani rivers. The same is 48 Kms. From Pune towards South-West direction and 24 Kms. Nort-West of Bhor. To expand boundaries of Hindavi Swarajya within Maval region, two forts viz. Rajgadand Torna were considered to be at a prime position then. Although, both the forts were equally unchallangable, Rajgad fort scored an edge over Torna fort primarily because of its huge size. Also the approach to Rajgad made it more unique as one has to either cross a mountain or a river to reach Rajgad fort. In view of the above factors, Shivaji Maharaj selected Rajgad as a capital fort and political base of ‘Hindavi Swarajya’. Rajgad has three Machis` and one Citadel. This Citadel is highest of all as it stands 1394 meters above Mean Sea Level (M.S.L.)
