Overview

Night Trek to Kothaligad - Overview

Nestled in the famous Bhimashankar wildlife sanctuary near Karjat, is a small marvel of architecture called Kothaligad.

Kothaligad, also known as Peth fort, rises to a maximum altitude of 2,033 ft and was primarily used as a watchtower & ammunition depot by the ruling armies. The strategic location of the hill provides a commanding view of Padargad, Malanggad, Siddhagad, Chanderi fort, Bhimashankar & Matheran plateau in clear weather.

Located less than 100 kms from both Mumbai and Pune and well connected by road and railways, Kothaligad is the ideal all-season trek for anyone looking for a quick getaway from the bustling city life.
