Lohagad is part of the Western Ghats. Height of lohgad is upto 3,389 ft above the sea level and it is located near the lonawala hill station which is 60km from pune. We are the group of 6 people started our journey from Shirur to pune via S.T bus on 5.30 in morning. After reaching at Pune Station at 7AM , we took local train for Lonawala. Journey takes almost 1 hour to reach lonawala station. We reached  malavali station on 8 AM and had some breakfast for energy. And We started our trekking at morning 9 and after 2 hours of trekking we reached at Lohgad Fort Paytha. At lohgad fort you can see large extended fortfilled which is called Vinchukada. In lohgad you will see 4 large gates , which is still in good condition. During the monsoon season the atmosphere become just awesome , the fort is covered with full of greenary and clouds. After spending some time on the fort , we started down stepping the fort at 3PM and after reaching the paytha we had some lunch and took local transport to reach Malavali Station.

The Journey was so awesome and enjoyable with friends.
