Sinhagad Fort at Sunrise
About this trek
Sinhagad, the lion's fort, stands south-west of Pune on a hill with cliffs on every side. In 1670 Tanaji Malusare took it in a night attack up those cliffs and died winning it, and the fort is remembered by his name as much as its own. The path from Atkarwadi climbs steadily through forest for about two hours to the Pune Darwaja. On top are the Kalyan Darwaja, Tanaji's memorial and the old water tanks, and the stalls that sell pitla bhakri and curd. An early start beats the heat and the weekend crowds, and the whole group is home by lunch.
