If you can brave a strenuous trek in the Sahaydris, then a trip to Rajgad Fort is a great way of combining heritage and adventure. Located at a distance of about 50 km from Pune, the fort can be reached through a series of steps, verdant valleys and meandering pathways. Totally worth the effort, it is one of the best vantage points to admire gorgeous sunsets and the cityscape. Surrounded by imposing ramparts, Rajgad Fort is also known as the longest residence of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. A popular getaway close to the city’s boundaries, Rajgad Fort delights adventure-enthusiasts and history-lovers in equal measure.
