Rajgad Fort Trek, Pune ([8] – cont’d)

:: Rajgad Fort Trek, Pune (cont’d)

The trek to the Rajgad Fort, started off with inspiring notes. Every stage along the way was amazing, and offered beautiful views, excitement, and adrenaline rush. Reaching the Maha Darwaza (ie Main Gate) to Bale Killa (ie little fort), was arduous (and though graded as medium, is not that easy). Enthused by our progress and the promise of more, we continue on.

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

Standing on the edge, overlooking the vast expanse over the top A panoramic view offers a sense of vantage that was essential to protect the seat of the Maratha empire Stunning skies contrast against the ruins of the fort After enjoying the views and history, it's time to descend back to base...

Descending down the treacherous Maha Darwaza... One last glimpse at the Maratha flag, flying high at the top Descending down the treacherous Maha Darwaza... More lovely flowers on the way down

The pretty flowers, against an impressive mountain range... The pretty flowers, against an impressive mountain range... The variety of flora here is simply amazing! Back near the base, the ruins lie quietly amidst the contrast of the settings

The steps that led us up to Bale Killa (these probably were not there back then) Historic views (of the ruins) Historic views (of the ruins) Flowers sway in the cool breeze...
