Top 10 DIY Treks Near Pune

Share this story

Category Region-wise Guide; Treks Around Pune

By Manasa N L

Monsoon and post-monsoon are synonymous with trekking in the Western Ghats. This is when the Western Ghats spring into life. The forest section comes alive. The lush green grasslands beam with tiny wildflowers. The view of rolling green hills takes your breath away.  

Western Ghats are older than the Himalayas! They span from Gujarat to Kerala and are almost 1600 km long. A large chunk of them lies in Maharashtra. This means, no matter what part of Maharashtra you are from, you have a place to trek to. The presence of more than 160 forts adds to this. As a result, there is a strong trekking culture too.

Pune, being one of the popular districts in Maharashtra, is home to the famous hill stations such as Lonavala and Malshej Ghat . This makes it one of the hotspots for treks in Sahyadris. There are numerous treks that are just a couple of hours away. 

There are treks that take you through dense forests. There are vast plateaus to explore. There are forts that are architectural marvels. There are waterfall trails to quench your thirst for adventure. There is a reverse waterfall phenomenon to marvel at!

Here, I’ve curated 10 such best treks near Pune that you must do. So without further delay, let’s dive into the details of these treks.

1. Sinhagad Trek

Starting point of the trek: Donje Gaon Distance from Pune: 20 km Best route to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/NSZ2P6MKVaX4ViqS8

View, Sinhagad fort trek, treks near Pune, treks in Maharashtra, Sahyadri treks, Indiahikes

Sinhagad is one of the most significant forts around Pune. The fort, strategically built to provide natural protection, is part of the triumvirate Sinhagad , Rajgad and Torna . It has also been the centre of a number of battles. Unlike many other forts, the fort structure of Sinhagad is still intact and well preserved. Because of this reason, the trek to Sinhagad is one of the most popular treks in this region. 

Sinhagad trek can be divided into two sections. The first part starts from tar road at Donje Gaon and climbs up to a parking lot for two wheelers. The second half of the trek is a steep climb to Sinhagad top . It’s steep but incredibly rewarding.

2. Torna Fort Trek

Starting point of the trek: Velhe village Distance from Pune: 48 km Best route to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/ccdty7LacAeAz3aH9

Fortified walls, Torna Fort trek, treks near Pune, treks in Maharashtra, Sahyadri treks, Indiahikes

Torna Fort is the highest hill-fort in the Pune District. Situated at an altitude of 4,603 ft from sea level, it stands out among other forts in the western ghats of Maharashtra. Because of the massive size of the fort, it is also called Prachandagad . This name is derived from Marathi which means Prachanda – massive and gad – a fort.

Torna Fort has a rich history as it was captured by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1646 when he was 16 years old. This is where the core of the Maratha empire was built. It has a great history as it has gone under many rulers.

Trek to the Torna Fort unfolds many exciting things. You trek along the beautiful flower beds, on the top, there are temples, water cisterns, Balekilla , 2 magnificent Machis, Zunjar Machi , and Budhla Machi , and a ridge connecting to Rajgad Fort .

3. Rajgad Trek

Starting point of the trek: Gunjavane village Distance from Pune: 62 km Best route to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/ZRH5KcYgGpeuXgLc9

Sanjivani Machi, Rajgad fort trek, treks near Pune, treks in Maharashtra, Sahyadri treks, Indiahikes

The Sanjivani Machi of Rajgad Fort. Picture by Nitesh Kumar.

Rajgad trek is the most beautiful trek in Maharashtra. As the name suggests, it is the king of forts. Because of the rich history and mesmerizing architecture of the fort, it stands out among other forts in the Western Ghats.

Rajgad was the capital of the Maratha emperor Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for 26 years after which he shifted to Raigad . This is one of the reasons why the fort was built so beautifully. Rajgad has witnessed many significant events, including the birth of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s son Rajaram I to the death of his queen Saibai .

Trek to Rajgad offers the beauty of the Sahyadris as well as the fort. The fortification of the 3 Machis: Padmavati Machi , Suvela Machi , and Sanjivani Machi define the architectural creativity of that time. It also offers a splendid view of other surrounding forts like Torna , Lingana , Raigad , Sinhagad and many other forts.

For the mesmerising views and the rich history of the fort, this trek is a must-do.

4. Visapur Fort Trek

Starting point of the trek: Bhaje village Distance from Pune: 64 km Best route to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/Z1njsVNgwNe6CFip7

Visapur fort, treks near Pune, treks in Maharashtra, Sahyadri treks, Indiahikes

Wall of the Visapur fort. Picture by Mugdha Bhusari.

Visapur Fort dates back to the 1700's and was built by Balaji Vishwanath , the first Peshwa of the Maratha Empire. Visapur Fort is a part of the Lohagad-Visapur fortification. Visapur is at a higher elevation than its twin Lohagad . 

The trek to Visapur fort has two routes. One from Bhaje village, and the other from Patan village . As the Patan village trail is slightly challenging, trekking from Bhaje village is preferred by many. 

The trek from the Bhaje Village starts from a mud road and gradually winds up in an ascending forest section. The forest section becomes a waterfall trail in the monsoon season. It later ends in an expansive plateau. Figuring out the correct trail from the Patan village is tricky. It also winds in a small forest section followed by dried up waterfalls to reach the plateau on the top. 

Do this trek for the waterfall trail in monsoon and the view from the plateau.

5. Lonavala Bhimashankar Trek

Starting point of the trek: Lonavala Distance from Pune: 68 km Best route to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/qBnFQJbScaURpjxAA

Lush greenery of Dhak plateau as seen on the Lonavala Bhimashankar trek. Picture from the Indiahikes archives.

The Lonavala Bhimashankar is arguably the best back-country trek in the Sahyadri range. The trek starts right at Lonavala , one of the most famous hill stations in South India. The trail then passes through deep wild rainforest, head-high bushes, lost-and-found trails, small rivulets, remote tribal villages, eerie temples, green meadows, hidden waterfalls, and a plateau of flowers. You explore the best features of the Sahyadri range on this trek.

You explore the best features of the Sahyadri range on the Lonavala Bhimashankar trek. Green gorges, distant villages, countless tunnels, and occasional waterfalls—the trek shows the Indian countryside at its best. The Bhima River originates from Bhimashankar Hill and passes through the deepest part of the forest. It attracts abundant wildlife, as there is no other water source around.

The Lonavala Bhimashankar trek is known as the Valley of Flowers in Maharashtra. Do this trek in the monsoon to witness the magic of flower-laden trails.

6. Andharban Trek

Starting point of the trek: Pimpri village Distance from Pune: 72 km Best route to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/tAnCCXQqs1TvrciWA

Andharban trek, treks near Pune, treks in Maharashtra, Sahyadri treks, Indiahikes

Stunning view you get to see on the Andharban trek. Picture from the Indiahikes archives.

Andharban is one of the most refreshing treks in the Sahyadri region.  Andharban is a compound word of Andhar which means dark and ban, meaning forest. At par with its name, the trail passes through dense overgrowth. 

Andharban is a descending trail, scattered throughout with numerous small streams and waterfalls. The trek begins at an elevation of approximately 2,160 feet in the Sahyadri mountains and descends down into the valley, to reach the backwaters of the Bhira Dam. Andharban trek offers beautiful views of the Devkund waterfall, Plus Valley and the Tamhini Ghat along the way.

The Andharban trek starts from a location called Independence Point about 200 metres away from Pimpri village. Being a jungle trek, it’s a must-do for those who are birders and wildlife enthusiasts. The Andharban trek , along with the Rajmachi trek , are popular trails for fireflies.

7. Sindola Fort Trek

Starting point of the trek: Karanjale village Distance from Pune: 112 km Best route to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/QtXE5eGC4vEhdJ9P9

The pinnacle structure of the Sindola fort seen from the second ridge. Picture by Kailesh Padevkar.

Sindola Fort Trek is one of the lesser-known treks in the very popular region of Maharashtra. It is situated in the Malshej ghat in the Junnar region at an altitude of 3,680 ft above sea level.

Sindola Fort dates back to similar times in Nimgiri and Hadsar. This fort was used as a watchtower as it offers a complete view of Malshej Ghat, Pargaon village, and other famous forts.

The fort is very small compared to other famous forts in the Jaunnr region. However, the ruins of bastions, a few water reservoirs and a Ganesha idol at the entrance on the top of the fort will set you wondering of the beauty. The rock-cut steps while climbing to the pinnacle will leave you astonished.

Do this trek for the serenity and the adventure it offers.

8. Kalavantin Durg Trek

Starting point of the trek: Prabalmachi Distance from Pune: 123 km Best route to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/CKkRWFSFfoKQBnFg9

View from the summit of Kalavantin Durg trek. Picture by Mugdha Bhusari.

Kalavantin Durg Trek is one of the most popular treks in Maharashtra. Situated at an altitude of around 2,205 feet in the Raigad district of Maharashtra, the trek is a perfect one for beginners or adventure seekers. 

The Pinnacle of Kalavantin is a thrilling experience that one goes for. Though popular, it is a tricky trek. If you are going on your own, take a local guide with you. With enough precautions and knowing the trek well, the trek is one adventure that you should go on. 

Though Kalavantin Durg is much closer to Mumbai than Pune, it can easily be done from Pune as well. Trekking through the uneven trail, thick vegetation, and the thrill of reaching the top is an experience you must not miss out on.

9. Kothaligad Trek

Starting point of the trek: Ambivali Distance from Pune: 125 km Best route to get there: https://goo.gl/maps/1uytwjPZ3MNmMSE38

Reverse waterfalls, Kothaligad trek, treks near Pune, treks in Maharashtra, Sahyadri treks, Indiahikes

The waterfalls of Peth plateau are often sent back upwards, a phenomenon popularly known as Reverse waterfalls. Picture by Saurabh Sawant.

Kothaligad , a small marvel of architecture, nestled in the famous Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary near Karjat . It rises to a maximum altitude of 2,033 ft. Kothaligad stands detached from the main trail of Bhimashankar thus providing a rare 360 degree view from the peak. From the Peth plateau , you can even witness the reverse waterfall phenomenon. 

Kothaligad Fort was primarily used as a watchtower and ammunition depot by the ruling armies. The strategic location of the hill provides a commanding view of Padargad, Malanggad, Siddhagad, Chanderi Fort, Bhimashankar & Matheran Plateau in clear weather.

Located less than 100 km from both Mumbai and Pune and well connected by road and railways, Kothaligad is an ideal all-season trek for anyone looking for a quick getaway from bustling city life.

Pune Weekend Getaway: Four trekking circuits to try out around city

Katraj-sinhagad, mainly undertaken on full-moon nights, rajgad-torna, which was the seat of the maratha empire for the longest time, among the four trekking destinations that you must explore.

treks in pune this weekend

No trip in Pune is complete without someone mentioning at least once, “let’s go for a trek this weekend”. Trekking is hugely popular in Pune and Mumbai, with local trekking groups spreading fast to monetise this growing obsession with the hills.

Many offer treks to the famous hill forts around the city but there are lesser-known trekking circuits around the city. These test your endurance levels while rewarding you with walks on pristine trails under full-moon and starlit skies. Here are some of the trekking circuits around the city which you must experience at least once:

treks in pune this weekend

Katraj-Sinhagad: Popularly known as K2S, this circuit starts at the Katraj Ghat as you traverse your way to the famous Sinhagad fort. Mainly undertaken on full-moon nights so that the visibility is high, the trek usually starts around 10 pm as the trekkers make their way through the night to soak themselves in the morning sun at Sinhagad.

As you make your way across, you will witness beautiful torchlit paths like glittering necklaces as other trekking groups make their way to the fort.

Rajgad-Torna: It is another favourite trekking circuit for people in the city. ‘Rajgad’, literally translated as the ‘king’s fort’, was the seat and home of the Maratha empire for the longest period. Torana, also known as Prachandagad was conquered in 1646 that led to the foundation of Maratha empire.

Festive offer

The Rajgad-Torana circuit includes a nerve-wracking hair-raising climb to Ballekilla atop Rajgad. The path stretched between the actual forts makes for a mesmerising view and trail.

Alang-Madan-Kulang: This has been named by many as one of the most challenging treks in Maharashtra. It lies in the Nashik district of Maharashtra in the Kalsubai range, according to the Indiahikes website.

Alang Madan Kulang treks witnessed multiple rulers, from Marathas to Mughals, and finally ceded to the British in 1818. The view from the top is gratifying, with forts like Kalsubai, Vikatgad, and Vishramgad to the North East, Ratangad, Harishchandragad, Sandhan Valley, Ajobagad, Dangya Pinnacle to the South, and Bhandardara to the South East visible from a vantage point.

Experts advise not to trek this circuit alone and take a local guide or experienced trekkers along because of the tricky terrain and massive distances covered, according to Indiahikes .

Tung-Tikona: Tung Fort(tung translated to peak), also known as Kathingad, is a fort on the peak. It is in the Mawal region, ruled by Maratha kings and constructed at 3,500 feet above sea level. Kathingad (kathin translates to difficult) is the perfect name for the fort due to the difficulty in scaling it, according to the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation website. (MTDC).

The fort has a temple dedicated to Devi Tungai and a lake and a cave at the fort region. From the pinnacle of the hillock, one can enjoy the majestic views of Laghghar and Visapur forts. The fort Tung(Kathingad) was built to protect the region of Pavan Maval and to keep watch on transport from Bor Ghat. From this fort, we can quickly locate Lohgad, Visapur and Pavan Maval.

Tikona, located near Kamshet around 60 km from Pune, is situated on a 3,500-foot-high hill which is pyramidal in shape and thus giving the fort the name Tikona which means triangle.

The fort is known for the ‘Trimbakeshwar Mahadev’ temple, a water tank and some Satvahan caves. Trek organisers also recommend the views of Pawna dam and the nearby forts of Tung, Lohagad and Visapur.

There are no walls or structures left, although there is evidence of a grain store and several cisterns. It has been a popular location for true adventure seekers in recent years.

Lingana fort is undeniably appealing to rock climbers. For many people, it is the most difficult natural rock climb in the Sahyadris. When you visit this location, the fundamental difficulty with chewing is rocks, especially at night.

The entire expedition, which is mostly rock climbing, is best done during the winters or when the summers approach. As a result, well-known trekkers always advise going between November and February or March. Lingana Fort is a must-visit and one of the best night treks near Pune.

Shaniwar Wada is an excellent example of the Maratha Imperial architecture used in India in the bygone era. It tells the historical tale of the Maratha Kingdom as it has seen every event that occurred in Peshwas Life over time. It was built by the Peshwas’ symbolizing the brave hearts of the Marathas, who strived hard to keep its glory alive. Though the fort couldn’t tolerate the battering from the wrong time but the stone boundaries still recite the untold tales of the colourful journeys lead by the heroic Marathas.However, some ruins still remain reciting the remarkable stories and contorted tales. You can witness the enormous stone boundaries made to protect the beautiful Shaniwar Wada, which shows the level of security provided to the people of the kingdom. The walls have a magnificent wooden gate reflecting the Mughal architecture, which is another example of how secure the palace was made. There are long iron spikes tucked into the gate, which could reduce the attack of the enemy and kept elephants away.Besides this, you can see a garden which follows the style of the Mughal architecture. It also has a lovely fountain resembling a 16 petaled lotus, right in the middle of the garden. Adding to that, you can see the boundaries marked on the ground, which could tell about all the rooms. There is nothing more than this havoc of time, which changed the face of the mighty Shaniwar Wada into nothing. But you can still make these remains your window into the past to relive what has happened in history.History of Shaniwar Wada:The foundation stone of the Shaniwar Wada was laid in 1730 by Peshwa Bajirao I. Initially, it was intended to be a colossal palace of seven stories made out of stone. But the people of the national capital argued that only King can have a castle made of stone. So, the construction of Shaniwar Wada began using bricks. It took two years to complete this elegant structure, which displayed an excellent blend of the Maratha Imperial architecture with the Mughal architecture. The interiors had valuable furniture and decorations along with carvings of flowers and paintings of scenes from the Mahabharata and Ramayana. The first major fire in the year 1791 destroyed a significant part of the fort, which was re-constructed again. Then the next explosion in 1808 burnt all the necessary artifacts and documents in the palace. Then another fire in 1812 destroyed the upper two stories of the castle, followed by a fire in 1813 which destroyed the Royal Hall. All this destruction was taken to another level in the year 1818. The British attacked Shaniwar Wada, which resulted in collapsing all the top stories. Finally, in the year 1828, a fire caught the whole palace, which burned for a week and wrecked it. Architecture of Shaniwar Wada:Architecture of Shaniwar Wada is an excellent example of Maratha style of construction blended with authentic Mughal architecture. The main gate, also known as Delhi Darwaza, is adorned with iron spikes to restrain the enemy attack as it is enormous enough to pass an elephant through it. There is a small aisle on the top of the door which has dome-shaped windows definitely taken from the Mughal architecture. Besides this gate, the Wada has four more gates, namely Mastani Darwaza, Khidki Darwaza, Ganesh Darwaja, and Narayan Darwaza. The walls have floral carvings and paintings resembling the Mughal architecture style. Scenes from Ramayana and Mahabharata are also found painted at various significant spots. The windows and doors are also dome-shaped contributing to the traces of Mughal architecture. Archaeologists believe that initially, the fort was six-floored before it was destroyed by the fire. Finally, the garden has a 16 petaled lotus representing the grace of the bygone era.

Sources suggest that both Kasturba Gandhi and Mahatma Gandhi’s secretary Mahadev Desai breathed their last in the palace premises. And it is because of this that their memorials have been safeguarded in the palace grounds.The Aga Khan Palace is located in a huge ground, and has five, luxurious and spacious halls, along with several lawns. The structure resonates of Italian architecture, elegant yet intricate and magnificent.Of all the rooms and features of the palace, its arches are the most beautiful, almost mesmerising to the eyes.

Most of these reflect Gandhi’s lifestyle, thereby offering visitors a deep insight into the Mahatma’s life. Moreover, it is because of this and Gandhi’s links to it that the palace is now also known as the Gandhi National Memorial Society.
