Trek Routes
The start of the trek is from a village in the foothills called Rasalwadi, and from there assent to the hill will be one of the most effortless that you will be on for a while. The most beneficial aspect of this lack of challenge is that you can focus all your concentration into admiring and appreciating the breathtaking forest around you, a kind of scene that changes your parameters of beauty. Once you reach the fort, which is only a short distance of twenty minutes from the village, you are greeted by two huge doors that mark your entrance into the fort and also into the remains of a lost empire. Upon entering the first door, a rustic temple of Lord Hanuman greets you. Beyond this temple is the second door, which is the final entry point of the fort. The fort boasts of having 16 cannons, all of which are magnificent and portray the strength of the army that guarded the fort. The Rasalwadi fort is rather small, you need a maximum of 3 hours to see every point of the fort.
