We had left the car before the bhaja caves nd walked up tking the short cuts with our son. Most of them including youngsters went up using vehicles right up to the fork , one goes towards visapur fort and the other towards Lohgadh fort. Climbing up the rocks was enjoyable. Only youngsters were climbing up the rocks.

Visiting Bhimashankar Jyotirling Temple is an yearly trip for us friends, We generally do the 6-8 hours trek from Karjat to the temple through the forests but decided to do a Road trip to reach the temple this time, We started out from Borivili in Mumbai and it took us 5 hours and thirty minutes to reach the Temple, We took the left after the Talegaon Toll naka and joined the GPS - this took us to a shorter but scenic route to the temple, this is advisable for travel buffs with a decently strong car or sub as half the way your won’t find a proper road as roads are still being built in the area, But as a compensation for the hard ride for you and your vehicle you will witness the entire Bhimashankar valley in all it’s natural glory, cool winds, lot is rivulets in between, scenic shots of the mountain and valleys, friendly villager folks all along the way, While coming back we took the longer Manchar route back - Bhimashankar - Manchar - Pune - Chakan - Mumbai Pune Expressway. The Temple is a nationally renowned temple and is one of the Jyotir lings, which are must visit lord Shiva temples spread all across India, this one temple is very ancient, the temple complex is itself situated down in the valley and there are lots of steps to go down, The temple is a must visit in the winters and people should try the trek routes and the drive routes at least once.

It is aptly named as Raj-Gad, literaly meaning a King-Fort. Among all the forts conquered, built and reinstated by the great maratha warrior king Shivaji, this one was his Capital. Difficulty level - average/ medium Reach/ accessibility: easy by private transport best time to visit - any time of the year, avoid peak summers of course.

A must visit place if you are in Pune, Visit this place for its history, thrill , beauty & of course Zunka/ pithla bhakari with Dahi . If travelling by car one can reach near base of fort , still one has to climb 150+ steps , but real fun is climbing from village , this is almost 8 km trek , one should make a climb once .

10. Korigad Fort

Korigad is a fort near Lonavla located at 929m above sea level. It is an easy trek to reach to the top, starts on a muddy road, takes you through a jungle of Karvy, and then the 740-stepped-stairway leads you straight to heaven. On the top, at first sight you are greeted with 2 beautiful lakes. Benches have been built on the strait between the lakes to just sit still and soak in the serenity. The fort walls and the main gate are still intact and well maintained, one can walk over the 2km wall! The view from the top is breathtaking to say the least. We visited on Monday September 30. Being a week day we had the fort to ourselves :) A 10th grader from the base village accompanied us as a guide. It was a welcome break from his studies, he said, to visit his favoritest place and also get paid for it. We got the perfect weather with intermittent cloudy and clear skies and myriad of colorful and scented wild flowers in full bloom. On our way back we drove through fog to return back to the Machan. Honestly I didn't want this day to end.
