The pride of the Sahyadri Ranges, the trail you embark on for the Rajmachi Trek towards the Fort makes for an excellent trek in Maharashtra! Encompassed by unparalleled natural charm, it is no big surprise that it draws in trekking lovers to scale its grand statures every season. In the reign of the Marathas, it came to be utilized as a vantage point for the trade routes of Mumbai.
The post of Rajmachi is reinforced by the twin structures of Shrivardhan and Manaranjan fortresses. The beauty of this bastion genuinely comes alive amid the rains, making it a gem of a trekking and adventure hotspot!
