One Day Trek to Sinhagad on Sunday, 3rd October 2010!!!
Sinhagad, as the name suggests, means 'The Fort of the Lion'. It is located near Pune and the top of the fort is more than 4000 ft above sea level while the base of the fort is at about 1800 ft above sea level.
The fort was called as the 'Kondana' after the sage Kaundinya and has probably been built about two thousand years back. It was captured from the Koli tribal chieftain, Nag Naik, by Muhammad bin Tughlaq in 1328 AD.
Sinhagad has been named in honor of Tanaji Malusare, a General in Shivaji's Army, who came to be known for the lion-hearted valour that he showed to recapture the Fort in an epic battle in 1670.
A steep cliff leading to the fort was scaled with the help of a monitor lizard, known as a ghorpad. Thereafter, there ensued fierce battles between Tanaji and his men, and the fortkeeper and his army. Tanaji lost his life, but his brother Suryaji took over and captured Kondana.
Upon hearing Tanaji's death, Shivaji expressed his remorse with the words: "Gad aala pan sinha gela" - "We gained the fort, but lost the lion". In honor of Tanaji's death, the fort was renamed as Sinhagad. A bust of Tanaji has been established on the fort in memory of his contribution to the battle.
The site also houses a memorial to Tanaji as well as the tomb of Rajaram, Shivaji's younger son, who also died here. Military stables, brewery and a Kali (godddess) temple along with a Hanuman statue can be seen as well as the historic gates like the the Kalyan Darwaza in the south-east and the Pune Darwaza in the north-east.
The bungalows of Lokmanya Tilak, and G.D. Madgulkarm, a famous Marathi Poet, are also located atop the fort.
The fort is an important part of training at National Defence Academy, Khadakwasla.
Sinhagad is a great trekking location with an excellent weather all year round.
