I have been to Rajgad 6 times now. For first 5 times, it was a day trek while for the 6th one, we started at mid night. Once you reach top, you can go to "Bale Killa". Also, if the sky is clear, you can see "Torna" fort. If you are planning a night stay, there are shelters on the... More

On fine morning we started at base camp and to our dismay and joy this was a trek of a lifetime .... Steep climbs and almost vertical stairs welcomed us for a good 10-15 kms .. Certainly not for the faint hearted and not for people with fear of heights.... The place is pristine even yet and surprisingly you get... More

1) For a senior person like me there is ropeway to go up 2) It is Shivaji MAharaj capital. 3) Do you want any further reason than this to visit the fort?

I'd never trekked in my life before and a few colleagues had done a small trek and thought this would be an easy one. After about 15 minutes we lost a few of our party, they couldn't hack it so turned back. The rest of us carried on. It was gruelling and some parts felt dangerous but we all were... More

we climed the fort from the chor darwaza side, it was a very risky climb.Luckily we had taken a guide who was an expert climber and managed to guide our climb to & back from the fort. the pali side must be better.after all the effort it is sad to see our historical monuments in such neglected state.It's a good...

The cable ride is bewildering. its so scary yet very safe. the fort also has some intriguing history behind it and its worth an overnight stay there. try some home cooked food with the villagers, the buttermilk n sweetened yogurt with the ever charged wrinkled friendly old ladies who offer it with a smile. truly worth it.

If you are in Pune and you are trek/fort history lover, then it is a must visit place. We went there as night trek. It is completely safe to go for night trek. There are 3 ways to start trek to Rajgad, one is from Gunjavane village which leads to the Padmavati machee. This trek route is mainly known as... More

Rajgad was the capital of the Maratha empire under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for a very long time, hence the fort is historically significant. Like most other forts on Maharashtra, this fort is also not very well maintained, which is very sad. Since the last decade or so, treks are being organised to Rajgad following various routes, because of which more... More

It si at least 400 years old miracle in Maharashtra.. a hill fort Rajgad. It is called a king of forts and fort of a king. To reach the top you need to climb moderately difficult and tiring climb of some 3000 ft (1000 metres) and last section to main fort is scary climb, with deep valley on one side.... More

Brilliant fort which gives a glimpse of the ancient age. Spectacular sculpture. Worth taking kids for a tour for knowledge.
