Surely one of the most alluring treks and absolute paragon of high class architecture of chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It's situated in the sierra of sahyadri and in the juxtapose to Torna, the first fort conquered by shivaji. Rajgad has spell bounded many trekkers with its mammoth size, sky touching height(~4600 ft.) and wide-wide spread.

There are four to five different ways to reach Rajgad, one of the easiest way is via Vajeghar-Pali.

Situated south-west of Pune, this fort commands the Bhuleshwar range. Reaching Pune, one can catch a bus for village Welhe or Vajeghar (1st bus from Swargate at around 8.30 am , about 2 hours journey by bus), get down at Vajeghar. From Vajeghar reach village Pali in about 10-15 minutes. From Pali, a good foot track leads to the top by Pali Darwaja in about 2 1/2 hours.

Rajgad can also be approached from village by Gunjavane Darwaja or Chor Darwaja.
