Panhala to Pavankhind Trek

Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj escape from the siege of Siddi Johar from Panhala fort on a rainy night, the subsequent frantic chase given by the Bijapur forces and the battle of Pawankhind culminating in the inspiring sacrifice by Veer Baji Prabhu Deshpande and 300 Maratha soldiers is the stuff of legends. The 75 Km-long route of the escape is broadly known. It extends across a portion of Kolhapur district in Maharashtra, from Fort Panhala to Fort Vishalgad. On this route, Pawankhind lies at a distance of 55 Km from Fort Panhala. Even today, the landscape is as rugged, has few roads and is dotted with nothing more than quaint hillside villages, peopled by simple farmers.

Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is a sacred memory alive in the hearts and minds of the Marathis. No other royal figure of India commands such devotion. The trek from Panhala to Vishalgad is therefore, a mandatory annual fixture, almost a pilgrimage, for many adventure groups. Since the date of the original operation was 13 July 1660, the trek too is performed in the month of Jul/Aug when the monsoon is usually in full fury in the Western Ghats.
