Shaniwar Wada is an excellent example of the Maratha Imperial architecture used in India in the bygone era. It tells the historical tale of the Maratha Kingdom as it has seen every event that occurred in Peshwas Life over time. It was built by the Peshwas’ symbolizing the brave hearts of the Marathas, who strived hard to keep its glory alive. Though the fort couldn’t tolerate the battering from the wrong time but the stone boundaries still recite the untold tales of the colourful journeys lead by the heroic Marathas.However, some ruins still remain reciting the remarkable stories and contorted tales. You can witness the enormous stone boundaries made to protect the beautiful Shaniwar Wada, which shows the level of security provided to the people of the kingdom. The walls have a magnificent wooden gate reflecting the Mughal architecture, which is another example of how secure the palace was made. There are long iron spikes tucked into the gate, which could reduce the attack of the enemy and kept elephants away.Besides this, you can see a garden which follows the style of the Mughal architecture. It also has a lovely fountain resembling a 16 petaled lotus, right in the middle of the garden. Adding to that, you can see the boundaries marked on the ground, which could tell about all the rooms. There is nothing more than this havoc of time, which changed the face of the mighty Shaniwar Wada into nothing. But you can still make these remains your window into the past to relive what has happened in history.History of Shaniwar Wada:The foundation stone of the Shaniwar Wada was laid in 1730 by Peshwa Bajirao I. Initially, it was intended to be a colossal palace of seven stories made out of stone. But the people of the national capital argued that only King can have a castle made of stone. So, the construction of Shaniwar Wada began using bricks. It took two years to complete this elegant structure, which displayed an excellent blend of the Maratha Imperial architecture with the Mughal architecture. The interiors had valuable furniture and decorations along with carvings of flowers and paintings of scenes from the Mahabharata and Ramayana. The first major fire in the year 1791 destroyed a significant part of the fort, which was re-constructed again. Then the next explosion in 1808 burnt all the necessary artifacts and documents in the palace. Then another fire in 1812 destroyed the upper two stories of the castle, followed by a fire in 1813 which destroyed the Royal Hall. All this destruction was taken to another level in the year 1818. The British attacked Shaniwar Wada, which resulted in collapsing all the top stories. Finally, in the year 1828, a fire caught the whole palace, which burned for a week and wrecked it. Architecture of Shaniwar Wada:Architecture of Shaniwar Wada is an excellent example of Maratha style of construction blended with authentic Mughal architecture. The main gate, also known as Delhi Darwaza, is adorned with iron spikes to restrain the enemy attack as it is enormous enough to pass an elephant through it. There is a small aisle on the top of the door which has dome-shaped windows definitely taken from the Mughal architecture. Besides this gate, the Wada has four more gates, namely Mastani Darwaza, Khidki Darwaza, Ganesh Darwaja, and Narayan Darwaza. The walls have floral carvings and paintings resembling the Mughal architecture style. Scenes from Ramayana and Mahabharata are also found painted at various significant spots. The windows and doors are also dome-shaped contributing to the traces of Mughal architecture. Archaeologists believe that initially, the fort was six-floored before it was destroyed by the fire. Finally, the garden has a 16 petaled lotus representing the grace of the bygone era.

Because the settlement of Peth is located at its base, Kothaligad is also known as the Fort of Peth. Peth’s pinnacle may be viewed from the village. We discover tunnels carved in massive boulders as we reach the summit of the fort. Steps leading to the pinnacle are carved along the Bhairoba cave. The fort is littered with small water tanks and cannon rounds. The first is the Goddess cave, followed by a water cistern, and the final is the mysterious Bhairoba cave. The cave’s features include a flat floor and well-sculpted pillars.

The Visapur Fort trek is a one day trek near Pune and Mumbai. This fort is also located near the Lonavala hill station just off the expressway to Pune city. It shares a common ridge with Lohagad and so the trail is the same an extent. It’s often referred to as the twin Fort of Lohagad, but this is not accurate. Visapur Fort is much larger and at a higher elevation. The architecture of the entrance and the walls have been destroyed not only by the ravages of time. During the British rule, the battlement was destroyed by heavy cannon to prevent its use as a fortification.

The Visapur Fort has a tougher approach to the fort and at times, may require the use of ropes during heavy rainfall to climb up the stream bed. It’s a fun adventure and is definitely rated as one of the most popular treks near Pune.

Here's The Only Guide You Will Need For The One-Of-A-Kind Andharban Jungle Trek

Embark on an adventure of a lifetime as you hike through dense forests and deep lush valleys on the andharban trek..

By: Karan Kaushik Published: Aug 04, 2022 02:00 PM IST

Sahyadris and monsoons are a match made in heaven. The splendid Western Ghats offer rewarding trekking opportunities for adventurists and nature lovers. The Andharban Trek continues to be a much-loved getaway for Punekars. Here’s everything you need to know about the jungle trek. By Karan Kaushik

Your handy guide to Andharban Trek near Pune

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Ayush chaursiya (@ayush866)

One of the most refreshing treks in Maharashtra, Andharban Trek takes you through dense forests, enchanting waterfalls, and mist-clad deep green valleys. The word Andharban stands for a dark forest. The Andharan Forest is sequestered in the Tamini Ghats at an altitude of 2,160 feet.

The trek requires you to descend down from the Sahyadris to the Kundalika Valley, which eventually leads to the tranquil backwaters of Bhira Dam. Other prominent stopovers on this trek are Devkund Waterfall, Plus Valley , and Tamhini Ghat. What makes Andharban Trek unusual is the fact that you will be descending on the entire trek unlike most treks, which require you to hike up to a higher elevation.

The trek begins from Independence Point near Pimpri Dam in Pimpri village. The trek takes you down a shallow U-shaped trail through the Kundalika Valley. The trail follows the Bhira Dam. Andharban Trek is a challenging trek during the monsoons, thanks to humidity and slippery paths. It usually takes around four to five hours to complete the 13km trek.

Since Andharban Trek is a jungle trek, expect dense forests sans any human settlements. You must be equipped with flashlights, torches, eatables, and enough drinking water to get you through the day. The trek offers amazing sighting opportunities too. Commonly spotted birds include dwarf kingfishers, Nilgiri wood pigeon, Malabar whistling thrush, Malabar grey hornbill, and white-bellied blue-flycatcher among others. Keep an eye out for the elusive Indian Giant Squirrel.

The trek ends at Patnus village. Just a little ahead is Bhira village. You can choose to stay in Patnus as it offers decent lodges, camping sites, and eateries. You may even travel to Lonavala and spend the night there.

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Gtribe Experiences (@gtribe.in)

Andharban Trek is accessible during all months of the year. The best time, however, is the monsoon season and the post-monsoon months. It is when the heavens open up that the foggy Western Ghats are at their majestic best.

How to reach

By Road: The trek begins from Pimpri village. Pimpri can be easily reached from Pune and Lonavala. It’s best to travel by your own vehicle or hire a cab.

By Rail: Lonavala is the nearest railhead. It enjoys good connectivity with Pune and Mumbai .

By Air: Pune and Mumbai are the nearest airports. From Pune, you can hire a cab for Pimpri.

Best Night Treks Near Pune

There are a lot of night treks near Pune that you can do if you like trekking in the moonlight. Night treks are recommended for experienced trekkers and should be avoided by novice trekkers. Trekking at night is more breathtaking and gives you a very different experience than normal day treks. It's something that one should definitely experience in their lifetime. We recommend that your group size should be at least 6+ guys if you are planning for a night trek. If there are girls in your group, ensure that the number of guys is a minimum of 8. Safety is a major concern as there is always a risk of wild animals and robbers.
