    1. Swargate-Katraj-Khed Shivapur- Sinhagad Fort
    2. Swargate-Khadakwasla-Sinhagad Fort

    I will recommend you to take the Khadakwasla route, as you can spend some time near the Khadakwasla Lake.

    Thoptewadi is the base village for the Sinhagad trek. From here you can start your trek. And you will ultimately enter through Pune Darvaja.

    There is another route to go to Sinhagad fort which is from Kalyan Darvaja. This route is much easier.

    Other than that, if you have a private vehicle then you can directly go to the fort. There is well built parking area.

Apart from that there are two main ways to climb Sinhagad Fort. One is from Pune Darvaja and another is through Kalyan Darvaja. Sinhagad trek through Pune Darvaja is little difficult and time consuming compared to Kalyan Darvaja route. Sinhagad fort trekking is for the people of all ages. I have seen many kids and elderly aged people during my trail to Sinhagad. So pick your route and have fun on your Sinhagad fort trekking.

    To go to Sinhagad fort from Mumbai, you need to come to Pune first. Sinhagad fort is around 180-200 km away from Mumbai. From Pune you can take either Khadakwasla route or Khed Shivapur route although Khadakwasla route makes more sense.

    The best route from Pune to Sandhan Valley will be by Otur-Kotul-Nirgudwadi-Samrad. You can go there by your own vehicle. The complete journey is time consuming so plan it accordingly.

    It is a safe trek and you will probably accompanied by other trekkers too. I will recommend you to go with the group and if possible, hire a tourist guide from nearby village. Trust me, a guide will certainly help you for comfortable and safe experience.

    There are other forts nearby such as Ratangad, Harishchandragad, Kokankada and Kalsubai Peak. There are camping facilities available if you want to spend a night at nearby location.

    If you want to enjoy the Sandhan Valley trek to its fullest, then go with the trek operators. You will find many trekking groups in Pune. The price will be different for each group but a decent trek operator will definitely plan a safe, comfortable and most important, an enjoyable trek.
