  • Trip introduction

    Take a monsoon trek into the green Sahyadris, along a fairly easy trail that offers some exciting challenges to the amateur trekker. On this trek to Vikatgad fort, you'll walk through rain-drenched forests, scramble over slippery rocks, climb up swaying ladders, all for the experience of exploring a misty summit.

    Vikatgad fort is not too far from Neral station, and can easily be done in a single day.

    Destination

    This trek to Vikatgad offers a chance to explore ancient structures at the top of a beautiful fort. There is a small temple perched on an outcrop of rocks which makes a great photo opportunity, as well some well-preserved meditation chambers, narrow passages, and some other structures. There are beautiful views from all sides, and in the monsoons, this entire route is sprinkled with wildflowers.

    Destination highlights
