The Sinhagad Fort Trek
I really love trekking, so I planned another one - this time to Sinhagad Fort. Sinhagad Fort is located about 30 Km from Pune and is popular trekking spot. The history of this fort is quite fascinating, which is many people visit to learn about it.
I went with my friends. We started our trek from Atarkwadi village, which is near Donje Phata. It took us around 1 to 1.5 hours to reach the top. The trek is quite easy, especially for beginners. Some of the steps are a bit sleep, but we managed them well.
We had carried snacks, water bottles, sunglasses, and sunscreen with us. The best time to visit. Sinhagad is during the monsoon(July to September) when the greenery is at its best, or during winter (November to February) when the weather is cool and pleasant. Trekking is summer is not recommended due to the heat.
Some of the main attractions at the fort include the samadhi (memorial) of Tanhaji Malusare, a gret Maratha warrior, and the Kalyan Darwaja, a historic gate where battles were once fought. From the top, we also got a clear view of the Khadakwasla Dam.
After the trek, we were really hungry, so we went to a local village hotel and enjoyed a traditional Maharashtrian meal of pitla-bhakari and thecha. After eating, we started our journey back home.
My trekking experience was amazing. The weather was fantastic and I felt a special kind of energy while trekking. Overall, it was a lot of fun!
