The Rajgad Trek, located in Pune’s Sahyadri Mountain Range, is a moderate-level adventure that offers trekkers a thrilling experience with scenic views. Starting at Gunjavane Village, the trail leads to Rajgad Fort, situated 1,400 meters above sea level. This historic fort, once the capital of the Maratha Empire, offers a mix of challenging terrains, including rocky and muddy trails.
The trek is ideal for intermediate trekkers and can be completed in 2-3 days. While monsoon and winter seasons are the most favorable times, trekkers must exercise caution during slippery conditions. Several routes lead to the fort, with options for overnight camping at Padmavati Temple for those seeking a more immersive experience.
Trekking enthusiasts can enjoy local food at base villages, and with proper preparation, this adventure promises a memorable journey into the heart of Maharashtra’s rich history.
