This connecting mountain range gives a fascinating view of slopes and valleys surrounded by Pune and an amazing view of Pune city. All these things make one test stamina, patience, and endurance. This makes the trek, a perfect one to start off the trekking, and for this reason, the Trek has become one of the favorites amongst the Trekkers.

Sinhagad: Sinhagad is a fortress located roughly 30 kilometers southwest of the city of Pune, India. Previously called Kondhana, the fort has been the site of many important battles, most notably the battle of Sinhagad in 1670. It was also strategically located at the center of a string of other forts such as Rajgad, Purandar, and Torna. Perched on an isolated cliff of the Bhuleswar range of the Sahyadri Mountains, it is situated on a hill rising 1312 meters above sea level. Given natural protection by its very

steep slopes, the walls, and bastions were constructed at only key places; it has two gates – the Kalyan Darwaja in the southeast and the Pune Darwaja in the northeast.
