Rajgad Fort Trek, Pune ([5] cont’d)

:: Rajgad Fort Trek, Pune (cont’d)

The trek to the Rajgad Fort, started off with inspiring notes, and as we began our ascent, lovely scenery and vistas kept us hooked along the route.

I’ll be adding more of them here, as and when I get the chance, but, do have a look.

As we make it to the top, the first glimpse is a beautiful expanse...

As we make it to the top, the first glimpse is a beautiful expanse of the fresh water pond that serves as a source of clean drinking water to the residents, even today

 
In this album:
We ascended via the 'chor darwaza', an exhilarating climb! We crawled up through this tiny 'window', the chor darwaaza,... All that's left now are ruins of the fort, centuries later Another group had also made it to the top, and like them, we too took a well deserved rest

As we sat for a little rest in the cool climes at the top, we took in the beautiful view of the fresh water pond around us. A closer look at the only remaining ramparts of the erstwhile fort and seat of Maratha empire in the 1600s. A panned out view of the expanse at the top, even as we still have more to explore... The clear blue skies of the winter season make stunning contrasts to the dried, yellow grass around.

The wild flowers and the calm surroundings make it an amazing experience! The large group gets ready to continue their expedition... As we move on, we realize, there's much more to the fort than we imagined/saw so far! As we wait for the group members to join us, we take in some breathtaking views!

Stunning flora and a super-zoom camera make it a perfect setting! Stunning flora and a super-zoom camera make it a perfect setting! Stunning flora and a super-zoom camera make it a perfect setting! After some rest, the group resumes the trek to the summit
