Trek to Mahuli Fort Kalyan Darwaja on 19th of February 2012, starting on 18th Night

Dear OffBeaters ,

We invite you to an adventurous trek to Mahuli Fort Kalyn Darwaja on 19th of February 2012, starting on 18th Night.

Trivia

Type: Hill Fort

Base Village: Mahuli.

Height: 2815 ft (Above MSL)

Grade: Medium.


If you are an adventure freak, then this trek is for you.

Mahuli though split in three parts viz Bhandargad, mahuli and Palasgad, they all are part of one huge fort. 

Mahuli is more known for the series of pinnacles that attract the rock climbers from all over the Maharashtra. 

The kalyan Darwaja is the Konkan side entrance to the fort and its access has become difficult since the Britishers blew the stone carved steps.

The specialty of this entrance is its location. It’s almost impossible to locate it as it has been carved in groves and cuts of the mountain through a huge rock.

Since it was destroyed by Britishers, it requires technical expertise to access this portion of the fort. 

There are two - three Rappelling patches while descending this route.

Difficulty level is comparable with Sandhan Valley Exploration Trek.
