  • Trip introduction

    Do you want to spend a night in a 5 billion star hotel? This is the right trek for you. Away from clouds of dust and blaring noises of the city, atop a hill, tucked into your sleeping bags, you’ll experience the night sky like never before.

    This night trek takes you up a short, easy trail to a 4700-foot tall fort, from where the views are unobstructed. This trek is planned to coincide with the Geminids, which are considered to be the most spectacular meteor shower during the year. You should be able to see around 120 meteors per hour! A 6” telescope is set up for you to watch the stars, and you’ll also get to spend a chilly winter evening out in nature.

    Destination

    Lohagad fort is one of many hill forts in Maharashtra. Having been occupied by multiple dynasties, it has a rich history and has been declared a protected monument. It is also a beloved trek for adventurers, as it is an easy route, with a well-preserved fort at the top. There is a long ridge along which a section of the fort walls extended, providing a scenic walk with gorgeous view. Even at night, this trek is an easy one, and you’ll be able to reach the top in about 2 hours.
