At a height of 4600 feet stands Rajgad fort, which served as Shivaji’s capital for more than 25 years. Trekking Rajgad can be a memorable experience as it is highly adventurous.

The fort had been a witness to many historical events and if you have a strong memory where history is concerned, the place should impress upon you most.
