Rajgad fort

Rajgad fort, known as the capital of the Marathi Empire, is located next to the hill in Gunjavane village. This fort with huge towers and high valleys was chosen by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for his residence. From this, we can guess how strong the fort was. Even today the fort is very safe but it is time to repair it as some parts of the fort have fallen for a long time.

Rajgad is a very good hill or fort in terms of tourism and checking. Rajgad fort, known as the fort of kings, is about 400 to 500 years old. Definitely, a must-visit fort in Pune district. The feature of the fort is the huge walls on the fort, as well as the towers that are still standing today.

To reach Rajgad fort, one has to go to Pune first and then to Gunjavane. There are two ways to climb the fort from there after going to Gunjavane. The first route is very good for tourism. If you go to Pune for trekking, definitely visit this fort.

Raigad fort

A few years later, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj removed the capital of the Maratha Empire from Rajgad and built it on Raigad fort. This is because of the height of Raigad fort. Considered the tallest of all the forts, Raigad fort was very good from the point of view of the capital. This makes it difficult to climb the fort. But with some special facilities available for tourists, climbing the fort has become very easy.

At a height of about four and a half thousand feet, this fort still stands strong in the mind. One of the many things to look for when doing this is Takmak Tok. From this point, you can see the entire Sahyadri and nature there very beautifully. Similarly, the temple of Rayareshwar on Raigad is also very famous. The road to Raigad is first from Pune and then from Raigad village. If you love trekking, you should go trekking without going to the ropeway.

Sinhagad Fort

Sinhagad fort is known for its large plateau. Due to the steep slope and strong construction, the fort is still in very good condition. It is said that one should go there and see the history of this fort. Most parts of the fort can be reached by car. And then you can climb the stairs and go trekking. 

Therefore, Sinhagad fort, which is excellent in terms of tourism, is also a famous place in Pune. To reach Sinhagad fort, there is a road from Pune to Khadakwasla dam.
