Let me tell you the Best Plan to see Sinhagad Fort.
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. Take a nap if you want under a tree. And after 3 PM or so start descend. The plan is to spend the evening at Khadakwasla Lake. The sunset at Khadakwasla Lake is really refreshing. And that’s what all about my plan for the Sinhagad fort trek.
