So, it’s my first year in IIT Bombay. We get many exposures in the first year and the best of them is treks to different places. The first trek was Visapur fort. So it was visapur trek from mumbai for me. Damn that trek was hard and very very slippery too since we went during the end of monsoons. But the hardest treks are actually the ways to find best views.

This trek begins from Bhaje village and was just one day trek. It has an elevation of about 1100 metres and is one of the highest forts in Maharashtra.It’s a great trek for adventure seekers

There is a steep gradient uphill climb starting as soon as the trek path begin after a short walk.It should take you around an hour of climbing if you are an experienced trekker otherwise 1 to 2 hr.

And then almost a 45 minutes walk and you are there.

There’s no doubt that the view from up there was justified. It takes away all the exaggeration.

It’s harder to get down from there since the route is same and hence slippery as it was.

So you better get down slow if you don’t want to hurt yourself

Ratangad trek -

After the trek of Visapur now it was time for the Ratangad fort trek.

The fort is on the western ghats and has a height of 1300 metres. Slighlty more than that of Visapur.

This was a simpler trek from visapur except the stairs that you find when you are about to reach up.

It was a one day trekking activity as well.

How to reach Ratangad fort –

There are two main routes to reach the ratangad fort. One route starts from village Samrad and the other from village Ratanwadi. The trek route from Ratanwadi is the simplest one, it passes through dense forest along the northern bank of the Pravara river,till it reaches a scarp. The final climb is made easy by the iron ladders constructed by the forest department.

The local villagers on weekends, erect small shacks on the way to provide tea and snacks for the trekkers. Some villagers provide food and snacks on the fort cave also. The trek route from village Samrad is quite difficult one, it passes over the narrow spur and finally reaches the Trymbak darwaja. The entire fort can be seen by taking a path which moves around the ridge of the fort.

View from up there- Since it was a time of monsoon we were all lost in the clouds. And that was fun. It felt like we found the paradise.
