CAMPING TREK TO SUDHAGAD ON 18/19 TH JULY 2015
Runner up CAPITAL of Maratha Swarajya
Short Info:
It is one of the ancient forts in Sahyadri. It was earlier called as ‘Bhorapgad’. During the empire of Shivaji it was named as Sudhagad (The sweet one). Sudhagad was considered by King Shivaji as the capital of his kingdom. He surveyed it, but instead chose Raigad because of its central location. The fort is approx 590 metres in height. It is a huge fort. The level of trek is easy. The ‘Thanale’ excavations in this area are nearly 2200 years old. This shows Sudhagad is an ancient fort. The construction and geographical significance indicate that some great rulers might have constructed the fort. Sudhagad was included in ‘Swarajya’ in 1648. There is a palace of Pant Sachiv on the fort where 50 people can stay. There is also a temple of Bhorai devi. The surrounding area of the fort is covered with dense forest including medicinal plants and trees. Some other beautiful points to visit are Pachchapur Darwaaja, Takmak Tok & Dindi Darwaaja.From Takmak tok Dhangad,Korigad Tel-Beila can be seen. Also river ‘Amba’ and the surrounding villages can be seen from Takmak Tok.
