Rajgad Fort Trek, Pune

:: Rajgad Fort Trek, Pune

Inspired by some awesome photographs of Rajgad Fort, the initial capital of the Maratha Empire, on the outskirts of Pune, we were able to plan a day trip to this historic place recently. With the weather having turned cooler, it was time to embark on an adventurous trek to this place, about 60km south of Pune, off Nasrapur.

The trek was organized by Nelda Foundation, and so it was easy for us to tag along.
As always, I was armed with my camera, and didn’t loose an opportunity to click a lot of pictures.

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

Our trekkers group, at the base, all ready to reach the fort A first view of our destination - the majestic Rajgad Fort! It's a long walk, but the hues of the landscape are inspiring nevertheless! One can only imagine the views from the top of the fort, a solid 4600ft high!

A tall, eucalyptus soars skywards, enroute along narrow paths First of many flowers, dotting the pathways to the top Taking in views of the top, as we hike up the steep mountain Taking in views of the top, as we hike up the steep mountain

Taking in views of the top; it's not that close yet, just zoomed in! The contrasts of the landscape were indeed lovely... The contrasts of the landscape were indeed lovely... A flower lies 'neath a mesh of spider web...
