Rajgad to Torna Trek – A Journey Through Maratha History
The trek begins with Rajgad Fort, one of the most important forts in Maharashtra and the former capital of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Rajgad is known for its impressive fortification, Padmavati Machi, Sanjivani Machi, Suvela Machi, and Balekilla.
The trail then continues towards Torna Fort, also known as Prachandagad. Torna holds an important place in Maratha history and is known as the first fort captured by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj at the age of 16. The fort is also one of the highest hill forts in the Pune region.
Rajgad to Torna Range Trek
Unlike a regular fort trek, the Rajgad to Torna Range Trek is a long ridge traverse through the Sahyadri mountains. The route offers spectacular views of deep valleys, surrounding mountains, forests, and historic forts.
The Rajgad–Torna traverse is considered a high-endurance trekking route, making it more suitable for trekkers with good stamina and previous trekking experience. Depending on the route and itinerary, the traverse can cover a substantial distance and involve steep and exposed sections.
