This activity is really worth the money.

Alpesh

Excellent

No words for this fort. Actually, there is nothing much to explore on this fort but yes you will surely enjoy the view from the top of the fort. Not a big fort in height you can easily climb within an hour.. For the best experience visit during monsoon. It's a beautiful place to visit in the rainy season but simultaneously take care while climbing in the rain due to a sleepy path or else avoid in monsoon.

Shubham

Excellent

Easy & simple trek👍 If you want to enjoy the scenery then don't go on weekends. This is the beginner-level trek and also you can bring your kids here. It takes a maximum of 2 hours to reach the top. If you've done a sufficient amount of trekking then you can reach the top in 45 minutes. You can go by public transport from karjat as well.

Akash

Excellent

Beautiful place to trek in monsoon. but in the rainy season, it is on a tougher level bcz of the slippery wet mud.👣 I had a wonderful experience here with nature n the view is awesome ❤️

Aditya

Excellent

A short and simple trek is good enough for beginners. There are a couple of slippery patches so be careful if it's raining. Pretty safe otherwise. The view of the dam and the reservoir is breathtaking ❤️
