    Camping at Rajmachi

    Escape into the lush landscape of the Sahyadris with this exciting camping in Rajmachi trip. On this adventure, you not only get to spend the night in tents under the cover of the starry skies but also spend the next morning trekking to the Rajmachi Fort. You follow a trail through rich forests to reach the two forts of Shrivardhan and Manaranjan, and explore their historic ruins. And you also get to indulge in some local cuisine while camping.

    NOTE: A jeep is arranged for travel between Lonavala and Udhewadi, but if the road is not motorable, then you will be required to walk 8 km to the base village.

    Destination

    Perched amidst the folds of the Western Ghats, the Rajmachi Fort sits at an altitude of 2,700 feet and dates back to the 17th century. The fort has seen its fair share of history and has now become a popular destination for trekkers and nature lovers near Mumbai and Pune. And at the foot of the fort lies Udhewadi, acting as the base village of the Rajmachi fort trek and also as the Rajmachi campsite. The forests surrounding the village and the trail uphill flourish with rich flora and fauna, making it perfect for nature getaways for the city dwellers.
