Treks and trails

Maharashtra is laden with hundreds of forts all over the state and in this aspect it stands out from all other states. It is said that it’s impossible to hike up all the forts which are about 500 years old in Maharashtra. The treks are great and range from easy to extremely difficult. Another highlight during the onset of monsoon season is the blanket of fireflies one can will witness almost all across the state. We have handpicked some forts for you this season.

Lonavala is a great place to start. Easily accessible from Mumbai and Pune, Lonavala is surrounded by many easily accessible forts to explore. The place last provides tourists with a wide range of accommodation facilities from budget to luxury. Some of the most popular treks are Rajmachi, Lohagad, Visapur, Tikona, Tungi and Duke’s nose, with Rajmachi trek being mostly one of the most exciting and endurance testing treks. The trek is 18 km one way from the base village of Rajmachi and offers some interesting flora and fauna treats.
