Hey Mates, we at Trek Mates India invite you all for one of the most awaited, Trek to Harishchandragad fort via the Nali chi vaat on 29-30th Nov 2014. (Starting on 28th night.)
Some details about the fort
Type: Hill Fort
Height: 4500 Feet above MSL (Approx)
Grade: Medium (7 hrs trek) (Experience Required)
District: Thane, Nagar, and Pune
Region: Malshej
Base Village: Khireshwar
Harishchandragad: The fort is quite ancient, considered to be from the medieval period. The Great sage Changdev (one who wrote the epic Tatvasaar), used to meditate here in 14th century. The caves are also from the same period. Harishchandragad was captured by the Marathas in 1747 from the Moguls.
Taramati: This is the topmost point on the fort. It is the second highest peak in Maharashtra after kalsubai. Leopards are seen in the forests beyond this peak. From here we can have a glimpse of the whole range of Naneghat and the forts near Murbad (This will be visited only if time permits.)
Konkan Kada: The most interesting point on this fort is this cliff, which has always fascinated many people from many years. The cliff faces west and looks down upon the Konkan with a breathtaking view of the surrounding region and sunset. This cliff is not just vertical; it is an overhang, almost like a cobra's hood.
Kedareshwar: The cave of Kedareshwar has a big Shivlinga, which is totally surrounded by water.
and yes fun never ends with Trek Mates India.
