    Sudhagad Fort Trek

    About Suhagad Fort trek

    The Sudhagad Fort was known as 'Bhorapgad' before the Marathas took over and renamed it as 'Sudhagad'. This fort was considered by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to be the capital of his empire but he eventually chose Raigad instead. This fort sits at an altitude of 2030 feet and has a plateau at the summit. The Sudhagad Fort offers plenty to explore and stunning vistas all around.

    Sudhagad Fort trek

    The Sudhagad Fort trek is an easy and fun trek that takes you to the lush green hills of the Sahyadris in Maharashtra. You'll ascend mountain slopes covered in thick overgrown forests, encounter gushing waterfalls, navigate some tricky ridges and walk along open expanses with marvellous views all around. When you reach the mist-shrouded Sudhagad fort, you'll explore stone cut passages, secret corridors, temples, doorways and small water bodies.

    The Sudhagad Fort trek is an easy and popular trekking destination for most Mumbaikers and Punekars who fancy a trip outside the city, in the midst of nature. You can soak up the fantastic views, learn about the fort's fascinating history and click plenty of insta-worthy pictures.

    What you'll see on your Sudhagad Fort trek

    The Sudhagad Fort is one of the better-preserved forts in Maharashtra. You'll climb a grand set of stairs through dense jungles to the top of the fort. You'll walk along secret passages and dark rock-cut corridors. The fort houses the ruins of Shiva temples and the well maintained Bhorai Devi temple.

    One of the highlights of this trek is the sight of the massive stone entrance called the Maha Darwaja, an exact replica of the Maha Darwaja at Raigad. You'll also be treated to breathtaking views of Sarasgad, Koraigad, Dhangad, Tail-Baila, Mulshi Dam reservoir and the Ghangad Fort.

    What to carry for your Sudhagad Fort trek

    You will need to be well prepared before you embark on your exciting Sudhagad Fort trek. Carry a sturdy trekking rucksack that will hold all your belongings. Wear your best shoes with a good grip as you will walk through slippery routes. Wearing a raincoat is a must and you can also pack a jacket or a sweater for the evening.

    Be sure to carry plenty of water and some snacks if you get hungry on the way. Always pack you basic toiletries, sunscreen and sunglasses. Also be sure to carry an insect repellent as mosquitoes are known to be rampant atop the fort.

      TGN has a very sophisticated and concise web page along with many optional details and information. This is one of the few sites that provides information about the operator. All the operators they recommend are safe, well-trained and reliable. They are easily accessible and offer reasonable deals. I've booked a trekking and river rafting trip with them already, and it was a very good experience. I'll always choose The Great Next to plan my adventure trips.
