About Rajmachi Fort Trek:
The Rajmachi Trek is one of the most popular and scenic treks in Maharashtra, offering a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty. Located near Lonavala and Khandala, this trek takes you to the historic Rajmachi Fort, perched atop the Sahyadri Mountain range. With its lush greenery, stunning landscapes, and rich history, the Rajmachi trek attracts both beginners and seasoned trekkers alike. The trek is relatively easy and can be completed in a day, making it a great choice for a weekend getaway from Mumbai and Pune.

However, it can be trekked throughout the year, with each season bringing its charm.
