Day 1

Exploring the unexplored and different forts of Sahyadri is a different kind of addiction and if a fort includes a difficult rocky patch then the trek becomes really thrilling. We left from dadar for Aundha fort

There are many such treks on the border of Nashik and Nagar city where a person needs courage and determination to complete them. We camped at night and had breakfast next morning before starting the trek.

It is the Kalsubai range. It includes forts such as Kalsubai, Aad, Aundha, Patta and Bittangad. Pattya/ Vishramgad fort is the most spacious fort in this range. As the name suggests this fort was built especially for taking rest. We started the trek.

This fort looks quite simple and easy when seen from a distance but as we start climbing we realize that the case is quite opposite. Around 4-5 windmills can be seen near the fort. It takes around 10 minutes to reach the base of the needle shaped.
