Visapur Fort

Reviewed By gvinita46 - Pune, India

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.

Tung Fort

Reviewed By jeetk85 - Pune, India

It is by far the best Lonavala has to offer for trek.treking level is in between easy to medium. Must visit during monsoons.. even though post monsoon were also great. At top resides goddess tungi ..which I believe is the tutelary deity of this area. Beautiful place a must with friends and family..

Neelkantheshwar

Reviewed By Vamos_travellerz

Best example of nature beauty. Climate is pretty cool. I can only say that this place is nainitaal of pune.there are many statues which express the mythological stories . This place is perfect combo of natural beauty and mytholgy. So don't waste your time and visit neelkantheshwar for experiencing the true nature. I will suggest to visit this temple in rainy or winter season.

Tikona Fort

Reviewed By amey_1309

Trek to Tikona fort was an outstanding experience, so far this is the best and cleanest/least polluted trek I have come across in Maharashtra. It takes approximately 1 hour to reach the peak from where one can enjoy exhilarating and panoramic views of Pawna lake and the surrounding region. So guys, enjoy this trek and please please don't litter. There aren't too many concession stands for food/water, so carry your own water.

Mountain Top Camping

Fort Rajmachi is a very popular destination for Trekkers and Nature Lovers. Mountain Top Camping at Rajmachi has a Camping Site (named as GO. NEE. DA. WADI), close to village Udhewadi on the plateau of Fort Rajmachi. GO. NEE. DA. WADI is in fact a Botanic Park developed by an NGO. There are 2 dormitories in GO. NEE. DA. WADI for camping in peaceful natural surroundings. There are ample open spaces for pitching Tents for those who love Tent Camping. Mountain Top Camping provide tasty homely food to campers. Transport from Lonavala to Rajmachi and return is also arranged on specific request.

I am writing this post so that it will help people to contact right people on Rajmachi. People Normally visit Rajmachi during May end or June first week as fireflies are seen while climbing the fort. Usually vehicles do go to the top of the fort ( till the main plateau region , not to the top of the fort ). There is a village at top of the fort where usually everyone stays at night. Following are the details that may help : 1. Local Jeep Service : Akhil Sheikh : 9623150280 2. Sawant Bungalow ( Where staying & Food can be arranged ) : 9226125535 , 9881215091, 9011564522 , 9209821826 Mostly there is no range to the cellular service at the top, one might contact Mr. Akhil Sheikh as he is mostly stationed in Lonavala. Mostly, post 1st week of June there is heavy rainfall and it is difficult to take the vehicles to the top. I will highly recommend to take a 4x4 vehicle if you plan to take the vehicle on the top. Hope this post helps people who plan to visit Rajmachi

Lohagad Fort

Reviewed By Travellapanti - Mumbai, India

Its a must visit place in Lonavala. Its a 30-40 min trek from the bottom to the top. And the view is stunning from every corner. In rainy season a rain coat is a must because Umbrella won’t work because of the heavy wind. In summer carry water bottle with you and please don’t carry food because you might attract monkeys unknowingly.

Purandar Fort

Reviewed By Sanju_kr89

It's nice fort.. 40km from maggarpatta, fort is maintained by army as it's their training camp, so it's well maintained and clean. Photography is allowed in some areas.. you can take your DSLR and use them, but use them only in the allowed area, Don't try to capture pics on restricted area, remember it's army governed. There is 45 min trek for fort to reach to temple, views from top is awesome. It's a great family trek with moderate difficulty at some places. For entry to fort you must have government id proof, as army rules are very strict, you will not get entry is you don't have I'd card. Parking for two wheeler and 4 wheeler is available. There is only one canteen to ear, so carry your own food items but please don't litter there , bring back your waste and put it in Dustin down there.
