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.

Monsoon Trek to Lohagad on 1st August 2010!!
Lohagad is one of the many forts of Shivaji Maharaj, in the Sahyadris which he used mainly for the purpose of keeping his prisoners and his treasury. Lohagad is literally known as the "Iron fort" in Marathi. It is situated about 60 kms from Pune and about 100 kms from Mumbai. Lohagad is at a height of about 3000 feet.
The fort divides the basins of the Indrayani and Pavna. The Visapur fort can be seen from the eastern side. A structure called as the Vinchukata is seen on the western side and looks like the Scorpion's Tail. The view from here is breathtakingly beautiful.

Monsoon Trek to Rajmachi on 18th July 2010
For one to reach Rajmachi is very easy, be it from Mumbai or Pune...u just need to reach Karjat...;-) Once at Kondivade Village, a simple trek of 2-3 hours helps you reach Rajmachi. A good scenic trek with great natural small waterfalls enroute to the top during the monsoons helps one enjoy the trek more than make one feel tired.
Rajmachi can be reached by 2 ways, the tough route from Kondivade village near Karjat and the other easy but long way route from Lonavala.
While ascending to Rajmachi from Kondivade, Karjat, one comes across the beautifully carved Kondane caves. It includes 3-4 Buddhist caves with great intricate wooden work and is being maintained by the Archeological survey of India now. It is a very popular site for Waterfall Rappelling, during the monsoons.
Rajmachi (Udhewadi) is a small village in the Sahyadri Range of the Western Ghats. It includes two forts - Shrivardhan and Manoranjan and is a popular trekking route. Chatrapati Shivaji built it during 17th century. Rajmachi is a historic site – a strategic fort and a historical trade route.
During the monsoons, beautiful waterfalls – small and big, are seen along the route.A temple – Kalbhairavnath Temple – gives the space for a quiet rest for a while and space around can be used as a campsite. Shrivardhan can be seen from the temple. It shows a lot of secret tunnels leading to battlements. It is about 3000 ft and was mainly built to keep a watch over the Konkan Area. The view of the plains can be seen from Manoranjan. Manoranjan is about 2700 ft in height.
