Sudhagad Fort Trek

Sudhagad Fort, Pali

First, I would like to introduce about trekking spot Sudhagad Fort(also called Bhorapgad from goddess Bhoraidevi ). It’s one of very old fort in Maharashtra near Mumbai.Let's explore this new attraction. Sudhagad, which is a popular trekking destination as it is one of the better preserved forts in Maharashtra. On the slopes of the fort there are lots of trees in and around fort.

The fort has temple of Bhoraidevi, which is well maintained by Govt. On fort there are two lakes, a house of Poojari who maintained temple and serve trekkers. All of this scattered around the fort area. There are three main gates the largest of which is called the Maha Darwaja.

We started on Sunday morning towards Pali @ 7.30 AM in the morning, during journey we took halt at Shree Ballaleshwar Pali temple and visit temple took blessings from Ganpati Bappa and had breakfast in Pali city. 

Remember there are two parking near temple area one is free from temple authorities and other is private which charge 50ru for a Bus, most of roads near temple are one way please mind sign boards while driving.

We recharge ourselves with cup of tea, Misal pav and continued our journey to Sudhagad. The fort is about 14 Km from temple it took almost 15 to 20 min. There are two routes to reach at fort via pacchapur (shortest) and other is from dhondse. Those who are traveling via public transport please make a note of ST bus timings.

 We reach at base village at around 12 AM and started trek. Traking path is simple but upright straight at some points it seems difficult but we enjoyed the whole trek. Make sure you carry atleast 3lt of water per person and some snaks because you won’t find any kind of shop during teak.

At top of fort you can find lots of cows eating grass in mansoon. At temple one poojari who can arrange a food and tea for you so if you are planning to take lunch at fort tell them in advance.

Some of trekkers created a ladder to clime on of hurdle in between which is great experience.

From fort you can see a whole Pali at panoramic view. Then we had enjoyed scenic view from top and left toward base village. We took less than half of time than we had taken to climb.

This has been amazing experience to feel fog at fort and waterfall during journey.

Wish you also enjoy this fascinating fort.
