History
Rajgad, literally meaning 'Ruling Fort' was the capital of the Maratha Empire established by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for 24 years. Rajgad is divided into two main parts as the lower fort and the upper fort. The upper fort comprises the Balekilla, where the royal residence was built. The Lower fort is made of three arms of the hill. Rajgad is located on the triangular tabletop of the hill. These three arms are named Suvela Machi, Padmavati Machi and Sanjivani Machi. Padmavati Machi got its name from the temple of Goddess Padmavati and the small reservoir of the same name.
Numerous structural remains and plinths of the palaces and houses can be seen here. There are remains of the office of the Maratha empire and the marketplace. This fort was the home of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It has witnessed different phases of his life, from the young sixteen-year-old Shivaji constructing the fort to becoming a King.
The young sixteen-year-old Shivaji had captured the Torna fort and had found a gold hoard. The gold found in the hoard was used to build a fort on Murrumba Devacha Dongar', and the fort was then named 'Rajgad'. This fort was then the capital of the Marathas which housed and protected the King and his soldiers for many years.
The fort was magnificently constructed with three machis 'Padmavati', 'Suvela' and 'Sanjivani' and one great citadel named 'Balekilla'. The ramparts are made so well that they can take the heaviest of the blow, yet won't crumble. This fort saw the birth of Shivaji Maharaj's second son, Rajaram Maharaj, the death of his queen Sai bai and much more! It was Shivaji Maharaj's home and the capital of the Maratha empire for more than two decades!
This fort is a trekkers paradise and a witness of Maratha history!

Rajancha. Gad. Apratim. Khoop. Sundar ❤
nischitach ...khup sundar ahe gad❤
bhawa solo treck kraycha aahe night stay vrti kahi soyi aahet ka aani from pali trvel kas aahe mumbai to pune train then pali to rajgad aasa plan ahe
jar private vehicle asel tar direct Pali village la jau shakto base village la tula parking available ahe, jar bus ne jaychay tar bus direct gunjavne village la jate je tula swargate bus depo varun milel - (Mumbai - Pune railway station - Swargate bus depo - Gunjavne village), but the frequency of buses is quite low so check accordingly........ one day trek easily karu shakto, food base village la available ahe, jar tula camping karychi asel tar carry your own tent, and locals kadun food arrange houn jail , if you are travelling from mumbai i will suggest you to start your trek from pali village as it is easy compaired to gunjavne village route, to complete the trek in one day you have to atleast reach the base village by 8-9am in the morning because the last bus for pune is around 5pm ( which i am not so sure). Rajgad is a massive fort and will take around 4 5 hours to explore the enire fort. So plan accordingly
Nice cinematics. The video is shot on which device?

How did you reach pali village ?
We had our private vehicle, if you want to reach pali village you can either rent a scooty or if you want to travel by bus From Swargate bus stand(Pune), you can catch a state transport bus directly for Gunjavane which is the base village of Rajgad Fort Trek. But the frequency of buses is quite low, so check accordingly. Another option is to take a bus going toward Velhe, get down at Margasani, and try to hitchhike till Gunjavane (6.7 kms) or Pali (12.8 kms) Also, from Nasrapur bypass (falls en route to Rajgad), minivans and jeeps ply to and from Gunjavane village. You can reach Nasrapur by any bus plying towards Satara/Kolhapur/Bangalore.
