DHODAP FORT TREK | NASHIK | MAHARASHTRA

 Dhodap Fort Trek | Nashik | Maharashtra After the onset of monsoons, you must visit Dhodap Fort. Hatti village can be reached by private vehicle from Wadali Bhoi village on Nashik highway at the foot of Dhodap fort. It is better to go out to climb Dhodap fort without taking much luggage with you as a guide from the village. Rainy days and slippery slopes make it difficult to climb if you have heavy luggage. Dhodap Fort  I don't even know how much we walked on the road, which was full of small bushes and colorful flowers in the grass. After a half-hour ascent from the foothills, one can reach the fortified gates and bastions without gates. Here is a small plateau. If you want to sit in the wet soil, you can sit here for a while, experiencing the nature around you, enjoying the cool air of the rainy season. Because from here the real climb begins. After a difficult half hour climb, the fort can be reached. The wind is so strong here that the balance can be lost. Ho...

Pratapgad Fort Trek | Satara | Maharashtra  I went to Pratapgad Fort Trek on 10 September 2017. Almost 3 years are passed but Pratapgad Fort memories are still fresh in my mind. Pratapgad Fort trek was one of the most memorable trek in my life. Pratapgad Fort trek was combined trek with Bhimachi Kathi and Pratapgad Fort trek. I went for Pratapgad Fort Trek with Wild Trek Adventure trekking group. Distance between Mumbai to Pratapgad fort is 210 km. So we have to left Mumbai one day before. Pratapgad Fort tek was going to start next day early in the morning. We all friends met at Dadar railway station at 10 PM. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Statue  Most of them must have gone on a trip to Pratapgad when they were in school. Looking at Pratapgad studied in history books due to Afzal Khan's assassination, it does not seem that we are having much great experience at that age. But at a later age, Prakash became aware of the grandeur of Pratapgad. The height of Pratapgad fort...
