Description:
Forts Lohagad and Visapur - 52 kms. away from Pune, atop an impressive hill, these majestic forts were built in the 18th century. They are separated by a 1 km. ridge and are ideal for trekking. The Shivneri - 94.5 kms. away from Pune, is the magnificent fort where Shivaji was born. One of the interesting features of this fort is a mosque with two minarets which are joined by a graceful arch. The Raigad Fort was made the capital dwelling place by Shivaji. From the fort located on an isolated hilltop, you can get a breathtaking view of the Western Ghats. Raigad is amongst the must see places around Pune though in ruins.
