How To Reach Korigad Fort

By Air: The nearest major airport is Pune International Airport (PNQ), approximately 105-110 KMS away. The second option is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai (BOM), which is about 120-130 KMS away. From either airport, you must hire a pre-booked private taxi or take a bus to Lonavala, which is the nearest major town. The drive from Pune takes about 2-3 hours, and from Mumbai, it takes 3-4 hours, depending on traffic. Once in Lonavala, you will need to arrange local transport to the base village.

By Train: The nearest railway station is Lonavala Railway Station (LNL), which is a major station well-connected to both Mumbai and Pune via frequent local and express trains. The train journey from Mumbai takes about 2-3 hours, and from Pune, it is about 1-1. 5 hours. From Lonavala station, the fort is another 20-22 KMS.

By Road: Korigad Fort is easily reached by road, especially from Mumbai (approx. 110 KMS) and Pune (approx. 90 KMS). From Lonavala, take the road towards Aamby Valley City. The base village of Peth Shahpur is located on this route. The drive from Lonavala to Peth Shahpur takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Private taxis or self-driven cars are the most convenient ways to reach the base directly. The Mumbai-Pune Expressway (NH 48) provides the quickest route to Lonavala.

By Local Transport: From Lonavala Bus Stand or Railway Station, you can hire a private taxi, an auto-rickshaw (for a smaller group), or a local State Transport (MSRTC) bus (though less frequent) towards Aamby Valley City. It's advisable to negotiate a round-trip fare with a private taxi or rickshaw driver who will wait for you or arrange a pickup from Peth Shahpur village, as return transport options can be limited. Peth Shahpur is the starting point for the trek.
