Hello friends my name is Vishal.
Me and my friends were thinking to go to watch the fort, my friend have seen the fort but it was the first time for me to watch the fort or experience the adventure.
We have make plan to go for adventure on sihagad on Sunday and on sunday morning that is on 24th of june.
And the adventure starts I had walked up at 4 am on that day so we can see the morning sun rise. Me and my friends were ready till 5 am and we have started our journey to sinhagad by bike. The road was clear ( No traffic) in the morning we have reached khadakwasala dam till 6: 15 am and at the base entrance at 6: 35 am but they don’t allow us to go by route on the top due to the celebration of its anniversary ( we were not knowing that today is its anniversary) . Then the member of security told us to go by trekking route at the top, then we have gone further at the base point and park our bikes at the base ( as I was having my helmet with me but I was not having place to keep it or to lock it with my bike so I have kept in the nearby shop) .
Trekking start’s
It was for first time to trek as I have no experience of any trekking but then also I have started trek by taking some rest by reaching some distance. And after 3 hours of trekking we have reached at the top. I was feeling to happy to be at top after such an hard work. I think we were 8-10 meters from the gate and there were many stalls ( small shop) of food, small statue and small open food restaurant.
As we have passed all doors or darwaza. There are total three entrance of pune darwaza. As we reached inside we have sit on the walls of fort and took some rest. After that we have gone to eat some food at the open mini restaurant. We were having two mode of sitting arrangement to have our food by sitting on the dinning table or on carpet i.e. on chatai.
There was many place to see there. After eating we have first seen the connons of Shivaji Maharaj era after that we have seen memorial commemorating Tanaji Malusare then some temples and house of tanaji malusare and many of natural scenery
Then there was function celebrating at top due to anniversary of fort and the guest was no other than the great son of Shivaji Maharaj family ( sorry I don’t know his great son name) .
Till 2 pm we were in the function after that we have started to climb down the hill, as we reached middle of hill the rain starts we have stop at middle of hill due to rain and after some time we continue to climb down hill. As we reached down at the bottom we have taken rest and have a cup of tea in shop at base.
Then taken our bike and started to go home but as we reached khadakwasala dam the traffic haved killed me. It have taken more than one hour to clear the traffic of 4 km but after that I have reached my destiny HOME.
I think that going by trekking is more fun than travel by road till the darwaza.
BUT THAN ALSO
THE TREKKING WAS GOOD FOR SINHAGAD FORT.
IT WAS ONE OF THE AWESOME DAY IN MY LIFE.
