About the Trip
About the Trip
Have you ever dreamt of climbing a nearly vertical rocky staircase to stand atop a historic fort with jaw-dropping 360° views of the Sahyadris? If yes, then you should try Harihar Fort Trek, at least once. Alang Madan Kulang and Harihar Fort are famous Sahyadri treks known for steep climbs, rock-cut steps, and adventure. Also known as Harshgad, Harihar Fort was built during the Yadava dynasty and later came under the control of the Mughals and then the Marathas. The fort served as a watchtower for the trade route that connected Maharashtra’s ports to the mainland at that time.
But do you know what makes Harihar unique among the hill forts of Maharashtra? It is its peculiar rock-cut staircases, which are almost vertical but carved in such a way that they can be climbed with the help of hand grooves and foot slots. So, if you are looking for a weekend trek trip from Mumbai or Pune or if you are the kind of person who always hunts for an unforgettable trail, the Harihar Fort Trek will tick all the points in check boxes.
