Rajgad to Torna Night Trek

Details

Rajgad to Torna is one of the most popular range trek near Pune. A long ridge connects Rajgad, one of the capitals of the Marathas to Torna, the highest fort in the region, which makes up for a fabulous trekking route.

Rajgad is famous for its construction. The fort can be divided into four different parts based on geographical terrain and fortification. These are the three sub-plateaux (Machee) namely Padmavati Machee, Suvela Machee and Sanjevani Machee, and at the centre is the Ballekilla.

Torna is also known as prachandagad (huge fort), due to its massive size. In 1646, when Shivaji was 16, he launched his first military attack by capturing Torna fort, paving the way for the great empire. Many battles have been fought on this fort.
