Lohagad Fort Trek
Overview
Lohagad is one of the most beginner-friendly forts in the Sahyadris, with a mostly paved path leading up from Lohagadwadi village near Lonavala. The fort is best known for Vinchu Kata, a narrow, scorpion-tail-shaped fortified ridge that juts out from the main plateau and offers sweeping views of the neighbouring Visapur fort and the surrounding valleys. Its short duration and gentle gradient make it a popular first trek for beginners and families.
