Its a fort situated in malavli which is next to lonavala.
This is a beginner level trek where entire family can go.
Its a proper fort where you’ll get to climb the steps. And a flat land at the top of the fort. Thw base village is thw bhaje village.
Along with the trek you can also see the bhaje caves situated near the lohagad base village. From the top of the fort you can see a stretch of mountains while on the other side you can see the beautiful pawna lake.
I’ve been there twice and both time there experiences were different.
In 2011:
It seemed an easy level trek. I had been there with the trekkers group. So, it was at all a task to find the route.
Walking through the bushes n small plants. The route was really good for the trek. At the foots of the fort there are local villagers who server u food. The trek was quite good then.
In 2015:
After a long gap of 4 year when I reached the base village I could see a concrete road built which guides you to the foots of the village. The vehicles can be taken there. It not at all seem like a trek but was like a walk/hike on the road. The foots of the fort were crowded with vehicles parked. The entire feel of the trek has gone now.
The word’trek’ for the fort can be changed to’trip’ to the fort as one can take a vehicle to the foots of the fort.
Overall it is a less than beginner level trek
