About the Event
“Rajgad”, meaning ‘Royal Fort’, is one of the biggest forts in Maharashtra, India. The fort is around 1,400 m (4,600 ft) above sea level. Formerly known as ‘Murumbdev’, it was the capital of the Maratha Empire during the rule of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for almost 26 years, after which he moved the capital to Raigad Fort. The fort is located 60 km to the South West of Pune, about 15 km West of Nasrapur, in the Sahyadri range.
The fort is a significant site for trekkers and travelers seeking some real adventure. Especially after the monsoon, this place becomes one of the most sought after trekking destinations for trekkers from Pune and Mumbai area. Since the fort covers a massive area, exploring all the sights and spots around the fort becomes difficult in a day and hence visitors opt for an overnight stay, to get ample time to explore all the parts of the fort. The Padmavati Temple inside the fort complex can accommodate around 50 people. The fort is divided into four parts: Padmavati Machi, Suvela Machi and Sanjeevani Machi, and Bale Killa (small fort), according to its different geographical terrains.

2. Put Litter in its place, do not trash the mother earth.
3. In the case of traffic delays or unforeseen contingencies expect a few delay in reaching the destination.
One of the most frequently trekked routes is from Gunjavane Village via the Chor Darwaza to Padmavati Machi which takes around 2 to 3 hours.
There is another route from Gunjavane village that enters the fort through the Gunjavane Darwaza, but this is tricky as it involves rock climbing and an expert guide.
Another interesting route is from Bhutonde village that enters the fort via Alu Darwaza. This route, however, cannot be taken during monsoon as it becomes difficult to reach Bhutonde village which is in the foothills of Rajgad, after crossing the Bhatghar dam.
So, if you want to spend your weekend away from urban cacophony and ditch the regular parties, then Rajgad Fort Trek is the best option for you, and you get to experience the thrill on this adventurous trek.
