Start the Sinhagad trek at early morning from the Thoptewadi village. You will enter through Pune Darvaja. Take left from the next door and start exploring the fort. There is a Canon on the Kalavantinicha Buruj. From here you will get a beautiful view of the lush green hills. Spend a whole day on the fort. Explore everything. Enjoy the delicious Pithal Bhakar.
