Shivneri Fort Heritage Walk
About this trek
Shivneri stands over the town of Junnar, a hill fort with sheer sides and a path that climbs through seven gates. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born here in 1630, and the house of his birth, the Shivai Devi temple his mother prayed at and the rock-cut tanks are all on the walk. The climb is gentle and the steps are many, with a great deal to stop for. After lunch the day crosses the valley to the Lenyadri caves, a row of Buddhist caves cut into the hillside nearly two thousand years ago, one of them now a shrine to Ganesh.
