Lohagad Fort Trek in monsoon

Lohagad, Rajmachi Point and Goosebumps point - these are the three amazing places we visited on a wet monsoon day when we were in Lonavala recently. Our day started at Chandralok villa (www.sid-thewan...) and ended with a surprise waterfall near Bhaja caves ( • Bhaja Caves near Lonav... ).
Lohagad is one of the oldest and most prominent forts of Maharashtra and has been ruled by many different kings and dynasties, including Shivaji Maharaj. The fort area also has old Jain caves which far outdate the fort itself. Unfortunately the fort is closed currently due to covid-19 restrictions, but you can walk up to the first gate - Ganesh Darwaza. It's an impressive first gate and unfortunately we had to turn back from here. The walk up to the gate is not challenging at all, except that because of the rains these steps are now quite slippery. Thankfully none of us slipped.
I will certainly be back here again once the fort opens and explore it fully. Looking forward to it!
My companions for the trip were Amit and Poonam and you can follow their adventures here:

Unfortunately close gate can't make it on top. But video views on Rajmachi point just loved it, especially that too in monsoon 😍 . Wondering there were no monkey's ? 🐒 🧐

[@SiddharthaJoshiFilms]

That's true...I will be back as soon as the fort opens. Thankfully there were none at Rajmachi point, or maybe we were just lucky. Lots of monkeys at Goosebumps point though...

Monsoons are the best time to explore this part of country...

You are right! Indeed it's the best time to explore Maharashtra :)
