Sinhagad Fort
Lohagad and Visapur Forts are located near Malavali, 52-km
away from Pune. Atop an impressive hill, these majestic forts were built
in the 18th century. They are separated by a 1-km ridge and are ideal for
trekking and can be toured in a day from
Pune .
Lohagad is a very wide spread fort and is 3,400 feet high. There are 4
doors to Lohagad from the nearby village - Lohgadwadi i.e. the Ganesh
Darwaja, the Narayan Darwaja, the Hanuman Darwaja and the Maha Darwaja.
Some sculptures can also be seen on Maha Darwaja.
Visapur fort is 3,500 feet high and situated between Lohagad and Bedse
Caves. A huge cannon, almost 10 feet long on Visapur is very vital as it
has an impression of royal crown.
NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
The famous spot of Lohagad is Vinchu Kata - a range of
hills that looks like Capricorn. Amazing view of Pawana Dam is also
visible from the backside of Lohagad. The wealth from Surat was brought
here under the leadership of Netaji Palkar and kept here for some period.
From the Visapur fort, the Sinhagad fort as well as the Tung and Tikona
fort can also be clearly seen. These two forts are historically very
crucial and must be visited by trek lovers and history lovers.
