Dear All,
We @ Shikhar Vedh has arranged 1 day Trek to Talgad + Kuda Caves + Ghosalgad forts in Raigad region on Saturday 21 June 2014...
Hope to c u on trek :-)
Details r as follows
Brief Introduction about Talgad / Ghosalgad:
Height:~ 1000 feet/1200 feet
Grade: Easy /Easy
Time:~ Max.30 min frm Tala village/Max.45 min frm Ghosal
Location:Roha, Raigad
Talgad :
A fortified monument on the southern bank of Malti creek, the Tala fort
lies east west at a height of 1000 feet above the sea level in Tala town in
Maharashtra. The fort is separated from the rest of the hill by a wide gap.
This protected monument of 4th century was built during the reign of Bhoja
Raja and was used as a watch on the beautiful Rajpuri stream. Tala fort is
a very good example for the artistic talents of the then generation. The
bottom of the hill in which the fort situates is surrounded by thick woody
forest. Once a center of prime importance, this marvelous construction
stands as the relic of its past glory.
Kuda Caves:
Kuda caves, famous for Buddhist caves. These rock cut caves are classic
example of Buddhist cave art and amazing for their architectural
excellence. These caves have two levels and the individual blocks are
smaller and are on the upper levels. The inscriptions on the caves are the
preaching of Buddha and his disciples. The interiors of the caves are
carved with stupas and a rock carved image of an elephant as the janitor is
inscribed on the front gate of the caves.
In many of the caves in Kuda hills, there are evidences to testify that
monks used them as dwelling places. The inscriptions, letters and paintings
in the Kuda hills shows that these caves are built in during first to sixth
centuary B.C. Set up on a hilly terrain, the Kuda caves give a magnificient
view of the valley below. This is a recommended place for those who are
having a keen interest in historical monuments and archeology.
Ghosalgad:
Approx 9 km south of Roha and 32 km east of Murud is a mountain which
arises majestically to the sky. A fort on the top of hill has been named
Ghosalgad after the village Ghosala below. The fort was used as look out
post for those ruling over Murud.
As the base village Ghosal is at a considerable height, a hike to the fort
from the base is not much and there is an easy path to the top. A water
pond named Wajta Haud, remnants of watch tower, fortified wall, temple of
Bhavani and Ganapati, water cisterns etc. can be seen atop. A beautiful
view of base village Ghosala, Murud creek and Talagad can be seen from the
top.
