Date:+ 08-09 November 2025+ 22-23 November 2025 \n? Charges: ₹2600 per head (ex Mumbai)₹2300 per head (ex Pune) \n? Brief Info:• Height:4182 ft/4200 ft• Grade:Medium/Medium• Time: ~ Maximum 2/3 hrs from base villages Gunjavane / \n• Location: Pune \nRAJGAD– The name describes the place itself. The King of all the forts. It is to the south-west 40 Kms from Pune. It boasts the highest number of days stayed by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on any fort. He spent almost 25/30 yrs here. 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 Balekilla. \n• Padmavati Machee (north end): This machee is the site of Padmavati Temple\, Padmavati Lake\, Chor Darwaja\, Pali Darwaja\, Gunjavane Darwaja\, Daru Kothar (storage of arms and ammunition)\, Diwankhana\, Rajwada (ruins)\, Ghod Tale (Horse Lake)\, Sadar (office) and Dhalkathi (flag hoisting place). \n• Sanjeevani Machee (southwest/west end): This huge\, beautiful and royally constructed machee faces west and has a three-stepped (layered) fortified structure. Each of the lower levels is separated from the higher one by a fortified bastion with a gate that could be defended independently. The lowest level is beautifully fortified by double curtain walls (chilkhathi) separated by a deep trench\, on average 12 feet across. One can walk between these walls. The outer wall has openings to let soldiers out for sudden attack. \n• Suvela Machee (south east) : This is another grand machee facing east with lots of secret routes and doorways. This one is a double-stepped fortified machee with the steps separated by a beautiful bastioned doorway. At the end of first step a hole cuts across the rock; one can sit in this hole (nedhe). The final (lowest) step like Sanjeevani Machee has a double curtain wall. To the south side of this machee one can see a beautiful triangular bastion called Kaleswari buruz having an escape door near it. The home of the renowned military leader Tanaji Malusare was in this machee. \n• Bale Killa (centre): This is the highest part of the fort which has remains of palaces\, water cisterns and caves. It has a beautiful entrance door called Maha Darwaja. One can view the whole fort and the vast surrounding expanse. \nTORNA :- The fort is also known as Prachandagad (huge fort)\, due to its massive size. In 1646\, when Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharajwas 16\, he launched his first military attack by capturing Torna fort\, paving the way for the great Maratha empire. Many battles have been fought on this fort. The fort is truly grand and stretches for a couple of kilometers. \n?? Fascinating points on Torna fort: \n• Goddess Toranjai: It is a simple temple where goddesses Somjai and Toranjai are worshiped. Ahead we can see the lakes toran and mhasoba. \n• Maal and Safeli Bastions: On the west of Kothji Darwaja are the bastion maal\, and the latter one is to the south of the former. Near Safeli is the construction called lakadkhaana\, where wood was stored. Here is the way to Kokan Darwaja and Budhla Machi. \n• Budhla Machi: In Marathi ‘budhla’ means vessel\, and budhla machi looks like a vessel kept upside down. This cliff is a breathtaking spot on the fort. \n• Bini Darwaja: This is the main entrance to the fort from velhe and is situated to the northwest of the fort. The bastion on the left side has collapsed. The path ahead leads to the Kothi Darwaja. \n• Kothi Darwaja: Ascending the steps carved in the rock\, we enter the Kothi Darwaja facing east. Here we come across some guard rooms. Way along the wall towards east takes us to the temple of goddess Toranjai. \n• Hanuman Bastion: This bastion is situated to the east of Kothi Darwaja. Here we can see the idol of hanuman facing south and a flag post. The way ahead leads to the bastion Bhel. Further eastwards we come to Zunjar Machi. \n• Temple of goddess Mengai: This is the only place on the fort where one can stay. It has two doors and the roof is stillin the needs of repairs. In front of the temple is a Deepmala. \n• Zunjar Machi: It is situated on the western side & a wonderful spot to see. \n?

SUMMARY:Mountaineers Association Dombivli trek to Rajgad and Torna Saturday\, January 17th 2026 - 17 January 2026
DESCRIPTION:Mountaineers Association Dombivli.\n\n\n\nThat looks like a challenging but rewarding trek! This flyer is for a combined trek to Rajgad and Torna\, two of the most iconic hill forts in Maharashtra\, organized by the Mountaineers Association Dombivli. \nHere are the details extracted from the flyer: \n\nTrek Overview\n\n\nDestinations: Rajgad Fort & Torna Fort \n\n\nBase Villages: Gunjavane / Velhe \n\n\nHeight: * Rajgad: 4\,514 ft \n\n\nTorna: 4\,603 ft \n\n\n\n\nType: Hill Fort \n\n\nDifficulty Grade: Difficult \n\n\n\nImportant Dates\n\n\nTrek Dates: Saturday\, January 17th & Sunday\, January 18th\, 2026 \n\n\nLast Date for Confirmation: January 11th\, 2026 \n\n\n\nCost & Inclusions\n\n\nTrek Cost: ₹2\,400 per person \n\n\nWhat’s Included: \n\n\nTransport from Dombivli to Velhe and back. \n\n\nVegetarian Meals: Breakfast (BF)\, Lunch\, and Dinner. \n\n\nExpertise charges. \n\n\nGuide\, Insurance\, First Aid\, and Equipment. \n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nTo register or ask questions\, you can contact: \n\n\nSatish Gaikwad: 9833195830 \n\n\nDilip Bhagat: 9820775354 \n\n\nBhushan: 9326308228 \n\n\n1. Itinerary & Sequence\nMost groups prefer starting with Rajgad because it offers better camping facilities (temples and plateaus) and then traversing the ridge to Torna on the second day. \n\n\nPickup from Dombivli: Usually occurs between 10:00 PM and 11:30 PM on Friday night (Jan 16th) to reach the base village by dawn. \n\n\nDay 1 (Saturday): \n\n\nReach Gunjavane/Pali (Base of Rajgad) around 4:30 AM – 5:30 AM. \n\n\nAscend Rajgad\, explore the massive Machis (Suvela\, Sanjeevani) and the Balekilla (highest point). \n\n\nStay: Overnight camping on Rajgad Fort or in the village between the two forts. \n\n\n\n\nDay 2 (Sunday): \n\n\nEarly morning start for the Rajgad-Torna Ridge. This is a long\, 5–7 hour walk. \n\n\nReach Torna\, explore the Budhla Machi and Zunjar Machi. \n\n\nDescend to Velhe village by late afternoon. \n\n\nBoard the bus to return to Dombivli (typically reaching by 10:00 PM – 11:00 PM). \n\n\n\n\n\n2. Fitness & Gear\nThe “Difficult” grade isn’t about rock climbing\, but rather endurance. You will be walking roughly 15–18 km over two days with significant elevation changes. \n\n\nFitness Requirement: You should be comfortable walking for 6+ hours with a backpack. If you haven’t exercised recently\, try some stair climbing or long walks this week to prep your legs. \n\n\nHighly Recommended Gear: \n\n\nTrekking Poles: Highly recommended. They reduce the impact on your knees by nearly 25%\, which is crucial for the steep descent from Torna. \n\n\nShoes: Do not wear flat sneakers. You need trekking shoes with deep “lugs” (grooves) for grip on the scree (loose rocks). \n\n\nTorch/Headlamp: Mandatory for the early morning start. \n\n\n\n\n\n3. Packing List (Overnight & Winter)\nSince you are trekking in mid-January\, the temperature on the fort can drop to 10°C or lower at night. \n\n\nFor the Cold: \n\n\nA lightweight fleece jacket or a down jacket. \n\n\nWoolen cap (Beanie): Crucial\, as most body heat is lost through the head. \n\n\nA thin pair of thermals (can be used as pajamas). \n\n\n\n\nFor the Stay: \n\n\nSleeping Bag or Mat + 2 Heavy Bedsheets: Check if the organizers are providing tents/mats. If not\, a sleeping bag is your best friend. \n\n\nPersonal Hygiene: Small towel\, wet wipes (water is scarce on top)\, and sanitizer. \n\n\n\n\nFood & Water: \n\n\nWater: At least 3 liters (carry a hydration bladder or 2-3 bottles). \n\n\nEnergy: Glucose/ORS packets\, dates\, nuts\, and energy bars for the ridge walk.
