Lohagad Fort is
about 117 kilometers or roughly 70 miles from where I was staying in
Mumbai. The drive was about three hours. It is located just off the
Mumbai to Pune Expressway. Lohagad, meaning “iron fort,” and Visapur
are a set of two forts build on large rock formations and separated by a
saddle pass between the two. Lohagad is the easier hike, although it
was plenty of work for me.
We parked a mile or so past the Malavali railway station on south
side of the expressway. The trail is mostly a dirt road, not in good
condition for driving, but fine for trekking. Once one gets a ways up
the road, you get a good view of the destination.
