Step into the pages of Maratha history with an exciting trek to Sudhagad Fort, one of the grand hill forts of the Sahyadris. Originally known as Bhorapgad, Sudhagad was once considered by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as a potential capital of the Maratha Empire because of its strategic location and natural defenses.
Surrounded by lush forests, ancient fort ruins, massive gateways, scenic plateaus, and breathtaking mountain views, this trek offers the perfect combination of history, adventure, and nature. To make the journey even more divine, the trip concludes with the blessings of Shree Ballaleshwar Ganpati, one of the revered Ashtavinayak temples located in Pali.
