2 months agoVisited last Sunday and it was a genuinely refreshing day trip from Pune. To get there, the easiest option from Pune is Bus No. 50 from Nataraj, Khandawa temple bus stop (200m walking distance from Swargate bus station), which drops you near the base of the hill (not at the fort itself). From the bus stop, you have two choices to reach the fort: hop into a shared vehicle running up the road, or trek on foot. For those who prefer driving, the fort has its own parking area, so coming by car or two-wheeler is perfectly convenient. The trek budget around 1.5 to 2 hours for the climb, depending on your pace. It is not an easy trek. The slopes get noticeably steeper as you near the top — so wear proper footwear and carry water. The good news is there are small local shops along the trail where you can stop for snacks and refreshments. The fort itself is open to enter and has a pleasant, garden or park-like feel inside, with food stalls and shops within the premises. There are memorials to historical figures, making it educational as well. It's the kind of place that works well for a relaxed outing with family or friends on a weekend. The view from the top is the real highlight! A sweeping panorama of the surrounding hill ranges that is absolutely worth the climb and the photographs. If you trekked up and don't want to walk back, private shared cabs are available from near the fort exit and run down to the base near the bus stop. From there, Bus No. 50 and 52 both head back towards Swargate in Pune city. Overall a well-rounded destination; accessible, scenic, historically interesting, and suitable for all kinds of visitors. Strongly recommend for a Sunday outing.
