KORIGAD MONSOON TREK on 3rd August 2014 with Mumbai Travellers

!! 3rd August, 2014 !!

Short Info:
Korigad fort is located about 20 Kms away from Lonavla, in Pune district. It is about 929 m above sea level.
There are two routes to reach to the top of Korigad, one from village PethShahpur and other one is from Ambavne village. Route from Pethshahpur is easier than the route from Ambavne village. We have to climb nearly 510 steps while going from Pethshahpur route. The route starting from the Bhairavnath Temple at Pethshahpur takes us to the top within 45-50 minutes and which enters through the Ganesh gate.
Route starting from Ambavne village is very much slippery and it takes us to the fort through Ambavane gate.
This fort was incorporated into his kingdom by Shivaji Maharaj along with the forts of Lohagad, Visapur, Tung and Tikona in 1657. On March 11, 1818, Col. Prother tried to take over this fort but even after a prolonged siege could not make any headway. Finally on 14 March, by igniting the stored ammunition by means of a loose cannon ball, he succeeded and this fort was conquered by British.
There are two lakes on the top of the fort. A temple to its patron goddess Koraidevi also exists along with several smaller temples dedicated to Vishnu and Shiva. Koraidevi Temple has been recently renovated and has a 3 feet high Deepmala. The wall of this fort is completely intact and one can walk along its entire perimeter (about 2 km). Its massive gate is also intact. Several ruins of older structures within the fort still exist. We can also see some of the cannons lying on the fort.

About the Place : 
| Type : Hill Valley | Height : 2065 ft | Grade : Medium+|



The valley of Ulhas river springs to life in monsoons with hundreds of streams and waterfalls tumbling over the rich green mountainsides of Khandala. We are trekking till the starting point of Ulhas River where we get a wonderful waterfall. We will spend one hour at this waterfall in the valley of Khandala


The area is a popular trekking destination for trekkers from Mumbai and Pune, its only and different of its own kind because on this trek when you start a trek you first Descend in the valley and when you finish trek you climb up, kind of Opposite of regular treks where you first climb and then descend, all in all its fun because there is water everywhere, right from the beginning till you finish, and yah there is huge water fall down in the valley.
