About:
Katraj Ghat: the Route which connects Pune to the South Maharashtra. Both, Katraj Tunnel and Sinhagad are connected by a single mountain range of Sahyadri Mountains and it travels through a series of mountains by crossing cross 13-15 hills top to reach Sinhagad.
Sinhagad: It is a fortress located roughly 30 km southwest of the city of Pune, India. Previously called Kondhana, the fort has been the site of many important battles, mostly famous for the battle of the great warrior Tanaji Malusare in 1670 and then it is renamed into “Sinhagad”. It was also strategically located at the center of a string of other forts such as Rajgad, Purandar and Torna. Perched on an isolated cliff of the Bhuleswar range of the Sahyadri Mountains, it is situated on a hill rising 1312 m above sea level. Given natural protection by its very steep slopes, the walls and bastions were constructed at only key places; it has two gates – the Kalyan Darwaza in the south-east and the Pune Darwaza in the north-east.
