About this activity
You will be picked-up from your hotel in Mumbai and taken to Lohagad fort. The mild trek to the fort will take 2-3 hours. Lohagad fort – means "Iron fort" in Marathi and is situated in Lonavala region It divides the basins of the Indrayani and Pavna and is situated on a side range of the Sahyadris. The Visapur fort is located on its eastern side. The four large gates of Lohagad are still in good condition. Historians tell in the later Peshwa period, Nana Phadnavis (1742-1800 AD) built several structures in the fort such as a big tank and a step-well (bawali). On the west side, there is a long and narrow wall-like fortified spur called Vinchu kata (scorpion's tail) due to its shape.

Lohagad fort history over a long period of time confirms that several dynasties have been here such as Satavahanas, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Yadavas, Bahamanis, Nizamshahis, Mughals and Marathas. Shivaji Raje captured it in 1648 CE, but he was forced to surrender it to the Mughals in 1665 CE by the Treaty of Purandar. Shivaji Raje recaptured the fort in 1670 CE. This vast fort has been a superb creation of its time. I still feel it displays an architectural wonder.

the entrance to the fort and most of its still is intact. Which is marvellous and astonishing. Later in Peshwa time Nana Phadanwis has also lived here for some time. The fort has been declared as a protected monument by Archaeology Survey of India..

To conclude you will be dropped back to your hotel/railway station/airport in Mumbai.
