 Lohagad Fort Trek | Lonavala | Maharashtra

I went to Lohagad Fort Trek on 06 August 2017. Almost 3 years are passed but memories of Lohagad Fort Trek are still fresh in my mind. Lohagad Fort Trek was one of the most memorable trek in my life. I went for Lohagad fort trek with 99 hikers trekking group. This was my first trek in 2017. Earlier I was doing regular trek. But due to some personal reasons I have stopped treks in between. After few years gap I had started trekking again. I was very excited for Lohagad Fort trek.

Lohagad Fort 

Our meeting point for Lohagad Fort Trek was Dadar railway station. We all trekking friends met at Dadar railway station at 6 AM in the morning. From Dadar railway station we went to T.T circle which is located in Dadar East. At Dadar T.T circle bus was waiting for us. Some other trekkers were also coming from different places. So we were started waiting for them. After some time wait all trekkers came from different places. So we started our journey towards Lohagad Fort at 7 AM from Mumbai.

Lohagad Fort Trek 

When you are travelling on Mumbai-Pune Highway on right side you will see Lohagad Fort. If you want to reach Lohagad Fort you should get down at Malavali station. Height of Lohagad Fort is 3412 feet. At the base of Lohagad Fort there is one village called Lohagad Wadi. From Lohagadwadi you have to enter Lohagad Fort via 4 doors. These doors are very strong. First door name is Shri Ganesh Darwaja. Second door name is Shri Narayan Darwaja.

Vinchu Kada 

Third door name is  Shri Hanuman Darwaja. Fourth Door name is Maha Darwaja. You will get some Inscription on Maha Darwaja. Once you enter Maha Darwaja you will get building construction. Around building construction you will get remains of smithy and house.At the centre of Lohagad fort you will see mosque like building construction besides that you will get high structure. On this high structure you will get two bunglows. One bunglow name is Treasure bunglow and other bunglow name is Lakshmi bunglow.

Lohagad Fort 

There you will get one pond also. You wont get much water in that pond. Later at the west of Lohagad Fort you will get Vinchhu Kata. In the west of Lohagad Fort you will see one mountain is going in downward direction . On this mountain you will get Vinchhu Kata like structure. At Lohagad Fort mountain you will get one hole through Lohagad Fort mountain.

 Shri Hanuman Darwaja 

 Due to this when you are travelling on Mumbai-Pune Highway you can easily identify Lohagad Fort. It seems like in ancient time Lohagad Fort may be build  to keep watch on Borghat road coming from Konkan.
