Rajgad Fort

Pune district · Monsoon Trails

The trek from Gunjavane or Pali village climbs through mist-wrapped forest to massive stone ramparts. Monsoon rewards fit hikers with dramatic cloud inversions — but trails are slick and leeches appear in wet grass.

Allow a full day; beginners should hire a local guide and descend before afternoon fog thickens. Pair with Torna fort for a multi-day Sahyadri heritage loop.
