Day 0 – Journey to Junnar

The adventure begins with an overnight journey from Pune towards the base villages near Junnar. As the city lights fade, the anticipation of walking in the footsteps of Maratha warriors begins to build.

Day 1 – Sindola, Nimgiri, Hanumantgad & Hadsar

The day starts with fresh mountain air, a hearty breakfast, and an introduction to fellow trekkers. The first climb leads to Sindola Fort, a lesser-known yet captivating fort offering sweeping views of the valleys. After exploring its ruins, the descent brings the group back to the base village.

From here, the trail winds toward Nimgiri Fort, a twin beauty standing alongside Hanumantgad Fort. These two forts narrate stories of courage while offering a moderately challenging trek with rewarding views. At the base of Nimgiri, trekkers can also spot more than forty ancient hero stones, adding a layer of history to the journey.

As the day progresses, the trail leads towards Hadsar Fort, approached through the historic Rajmarg route. The fort stands tall with commanding views of the surrounding Sahyadri ranges. Watching the sunset from here is an unforgettable experience, painting the sky in shades of orange and red. The day ends with a fulfilling dinner and well-deserved rest under the starlit sky.

Day 2 – Chavand, Shivneri & Narayangad

The second day unfolds with a visit to the Shivneri Fort, the birthplace of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Walking through the gates and exploring the fortifications feels like stepping back into history, a moment of pride and reverence for every visitor.

Next, the group heads towards Chavand Fort, also known as Prasannagad. Perched on a hilltop, it offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding valleys. On the way, there’s also an opportunity to visit the Kukadeshwar Temple, a serene spot that adds a spiritual touch to the journey.

After relishing a traditional local lunch, the final fort on the itinerary awaits – Narayangad Fort.

The descent marks the end of an enriching adventure filled with history, culture, and natural beauty.
