This hill fort is indeed jewel in all the hill forts here in Sahyadri. It is located in the district of Ahmednagar and is located about 4255 feet above sea level. It lies in the Ajoba mountain range surrounded by great mountains of Kulang\, Alang\, Kalsubai\, Katarabai\, Ajoba and Ghanchakkar. Geographically Ratangad is at the banks of Bhandardara lake of Ahmednagar district. With views of lake and highest mountains in Sahyadris looks very much lost in time  \nAt the base of this fort is ancient Lord Shiva (Amurteshwar) temple. About 1000 years old temple of Lord Shiva\, the Amruteshwar Temple at Ratanwadi\, is an absolute paragon of high class architecture of our ancesto \nRatangad has still the remains of fort with bastions and stone walls. Cave on the top is cut from the rock face and can easily accomodate 25 people at a time. Water cisterns are usually filled with water throughout the year and trekkers use them as water source. Eastern side of the fort has some fortification left\, one can see Rani mahal here. From the southern side on can see Katrabai and Ajoba fort very close. This side has also some fortification left\, but most of it is damaged. Climbing up on the northern side\, one can see natural orifice (hole in rock\, locally called nedhe) in the rock face\, mostly made by wind. This orifice is big enough to be seen from base of the fort and can accommodate about 6-7 people at a time. Strong winds can be experienced at this orifice. Climbing down the nedhe to the western end of the fort leads closest to the Khuta pinnacle via tryambak Darwaza. \nItinerary: \nDEPARTURE: Friday 18th Oct 10:00 PMARRIVAL: Saturday 19th Oct 10:00 PM \nPICK UP:PICK UP STARTS At 10:00 PM from Shivaji Nagar\, Bank of Maharashtra \n04:00 AM: Reach base village Samrad and take some rest 07:00 AM: Breakfast\, short introduction and start trek10:00 AM: Reach top of the fort\, enjoy the view with some snacks11:00 AM: Start descend\, Visit Amruteshwar temple03:00 PM: lunch After lunch start return journey and reach Pune by 10:00 PM (+/- 1 hour)_____________________________________________ \n*Charges: 1850/- RS*_____________________________________________ \nFEE includes:Pune to Pune Travelling by non ac private travel busmorning breakfast + tea\, Snacks\, Lunch\, evening teaFIRST AID \,EXPERTISE\, EQUIPMENT CHARGES \nFEE DOES NOT INCLUDES :Cold drinks & mineral water\, private orders in hotel\, Insurance coverage\, Medical expenses other than First Aid\, _____________________________________________Seats will be available on first come first basis. _____________________________________________WHAT TO BRING :-* 2 lit.
