Lohagad Fort

Lonavala · Monsoon Trails

One of the most popular monsoon treks from Mumbai and Pune, Lohagad rewards early starters with quieter trails and dramatic cloud inversions. The approach from Bhaje village passes ancient Buddhist caves at the base.

Allow three to four hours on the fort; pair with Visapur for a long day or Bhaja caves for heritage context.
