Dear All
We @ शिखर वेध , have arranged a Trek to Kalavantin Fort on Saturday 8 June 2013
The fort of Kalavantin was used as a watch tower and is located right next to Prabhalgad fort on the old Mumbai-Pune route. The beauty of this trek is the amazing rock cut steps that zig-zag their way up the mountain to take you to the top of the fort.just check da following link abt Kalwantin as seen from Prabalgad ...
