Sinhagad Fort in Pictures


This weekend was probably a different one for me; a long awaited reunion with my family here in Pune.

My father is visiting Maharashtra for the third time during his lifetime and he is still active like a youngster to explore serene places. I realized that, after he went ahead leaving all of us behind during the small trek up to Sinhagad fort.

This was my second visit to this beautiful spot which is around 30 kms from Pune. My first visit to Singhad fort- which stands perched on a isolated hill of the Bhuleswar range of the Sahyadri Mountains is penned down as 'Travel with Time' which was during September 2012.

Thought not the best time to visit the fort, however the company along and the lip-smacking dishes like Pithle-Bhakari, Kanda Bhaji and Sweet curd in earthen pots made the trip worthwhile.

Below is visual treat of Sinhagad Fort :
