The Monsoons are finally here. And its time for us to go for a lovely road-trip and enjoy nature’s abundance, enjoying the weather, getting drenched, dancing in the rains, etc. One day monsoon picnic. But places like Lonavala/ Matheran are over-crowded during weekends. Also it becomes too monotonous & boring to visit the same places again & again.

The Ulhas River runs to the east of the fort. The Gadhi River, and the Chanderi and Peb forts are to the west. To the south is the Patalganga River, and Manikgad and to the north is the Karnala fort.
