Resturants Near Lohagad Fort

Pune, Maharashtra, India
Lohagad, meaning "Iron Fort," is a historically pivotal hill fort situated on the Western Ghats, strategically separating the Indrayani and Pavana river basins. Its history is closely intertwined with that of its twin fort, Visapur, which lies to its east. Rising to an elevation of 1,033 meters (3,3 89 feet), Lohagad served as a major strategic point for monitoring the ancient trade route, the Bhor Ghat pass, which connects the Konkan coast to the Deccan plateau. The fort’s history can be traced back to the Satavahana period, with caves and rock-cut structures indicating habitation from the 2nd Century AD. However, it is most famous for its association with the Maratha Empire. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj captured it in 1648 but was later forced to surrender it to the Mughals under the Treaty of Purandar in 1665. He bravely recaptured it in 1670, making it one of the forts he held onto for the longest duration, using it to store his treasury. In the later Maratha period, it was briefly occupied by Nana Fadnavis, the influential minister of the Peshwas, who built several structures, including a large water tank and a Mahadarwaza (Grand Entrance). The fort is relatively easy to access, making it one of the most popular trekking destinations near Pune and Mumbai. Its most distinct feature is its elongated, snake-like western protrusion, known as the Vinchukada (Scorpion's Tail), which is a key photographic and strategic point.
