  • Best scenery from the top. Nice trekking spot. Food is not available at top, you have to order it from hotels near starting point and they will carry the food at top if requested(I don't know detailed info about food). I took around 2:00-2:30hrs for us to trek. Must visit place.
  • The trek here is of easy to moderate level. You just have to walk a lot. The whole experience is so soothing at the end of the trek when you see the scene from the top. Recommend to start climbing early so the heat of the sun doesn't drain your energy.
  • Rajgad was the first capital of Maratha Swarajya. Great trekking venue. Around 2:00-2:30hrs trek. Difficulty moderate. I found the climb steeper than many other treks, so be prepared. Partially covered by forest. You will find lime juice, cucumber, buttermilk vendors alongside the trail. Plenty spots for quick rest in case you are tired. Overall very nice trek.
  • All the forts in Maharashtra are incredible. Rajgad is one of the toughest to climb. Regular trekkers will not feel much fatigue but the one who will go for first ep shapely gave the challenge. It's nearby Pune City. You can reach by 2/4 wheeler here, in the small town situated at the base of Rajgad you must park your vehicle and stay trekking. It's a great fort. The view from the top is simply awesome👍. You can enjoy a beautiful sunset 🌇
  • Good for trekking will surely test your endurance. Climbing uphill have two hurdle one is rocks broken , muddy and other one is huge Steps of stones. It's worth all pains once you reach the top for views of fort and surrounding hills. One can get drinking water at top. Bring something to eat once you reach. Do keep place clean and not make mess throwing plastics.
