Explore the Sahyadris - Trek to Dhodap Fort

08 Oct 2023

Camp Date

1 day

Duration

Sahyadris is a heaven for moderate trekkers. The entire mountain range gets a complete makeover during the monsoons where huge mountains get green from brown and you want nothing but to explore even the most interior place. Monsoon has been wonderful this season and we are trying to constantly give you better trekking experiences.

Overnight camp to Dhodap fort will be the talk of the season. A beautiful fort built by the Peshwa dynasty at 4750ft is the 2nd highest fort and 3rd highest peak in Maharashtra which presents fantastic views of the valleys and lakes from the top. Ancient architecture and historic importance of the place adds to the beautiful location it is situated in.

Being a comparatively very less visited place, it still has its natural beauty preserved and the diversity and is one of the most beautiful fort on Sahyadris.

HURRY UP!! We want to give you a sense of being close to nature in its true meaning.
