Many other tourist attractions are located very near to this fort….

So Rajesh, Vaibhav, Sachin & me (Bhushan), Sahaydri Sangh Decided to go for one of the most important & valuable fort in Shivaji Maharaj History, in the month of December…

We took the S.T. from Kalyan for Junner at around 6.45 p..m. & reached Junner at around 9.30.. Wow, what was the Climate.. its feels so cool in Junner…. Thandi Wajat hoti.. We halft at Aashiyana loudge their, having the good facility includes good Food….

Second route to climb this fort is to ascend from the eastern face. We Climted to up from Salkhal Dand (one of the most Dangerous route ) to reach top of the Fort…this route is also tiring. From this route it hardly takes 1 hour to reach at the top from the base stand.

On the way there is a temple of Hanuman. One has to take a path on the right side of the temple.. This small path takes us to the reserved forest…. In this forest there lays the path to reach to top. One has to be careful, as there are many paths that can mislead us. Traversing upwards for 20 minutes takes us to the rock cut caves on the eastern side of the fort. On the left we can see steps running upwards. After ascending this steps we can reach top in 15-20 to minutes. But how we feel when we got the top of the Fort, cant explain in Word here… It was a Terrific experience, which Sahaydri Sangh like to Sahre with you all.. By the time we reached top.. We found Mata Jijabamata Statue..

Then for next 2 hours we saw each & every Historical place on the Top of the Forts, like Shivaji Temple, Shivaji Birth Place, Kudale, Water Places & Many More….

& while returning we saw Ozar & Lenayari fw kilometers asway from Shivneri..Shri Vighneshwar situated at Ozar near Junnar town.. we had lunch at Ozar & then come back to home...
