MOUNTAIN MARKS presents the first summer NIGHT trek of 2014 to SARASGADH Fort (Pali region) on the 19th-20th april 2014 by Bus.
Sarasgad is a village situated near Pali in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Pali lies about 10 kilometres East of Nagothane along the Nagothane-Khopoli road..
The village contains Sarasgad Fort, the twin of Sudhagad Fort.It can be identified by its four pinnacles and thus was mainly used as a watch place to check the surrounding region. The construction of the fort is not in good condition but the huge rock steps are something to watch for. There are two routes which lead to the top of this fort from Pali. On the top is the Shiva temple providing an excellent panoramic view of all the mountain ranges surrounding this area. Sudhagad and TailBaila can be easily view from the top of Sarasgad.
This fort height from sea level is 490 meters. There are many caves which were used for soldiers and other purposes because the fort has very little area available on its top. There are around ten tanks carved in rocks. They provide cool water supply throughout the year, which is very important for any fort. Shivaji Maharaj gave 2000 hones (golden coin used as currency during Shivaji Maharaj's time) for repairing the fortifications of this fort. On the way from the south there are 111 steps carved in stone. The door from this side is known as 'Dindi darvaja'.
