Rajmachi the dreamed destination of every trekker

At Udhewadi (village at the footsteps of twin forts) there is
a well built pond and a beautiful ancient temple. 30
minutes hike from here takes one at the flat plateau where there is temple
of bhairoba.
The fort in front of the temple is Shriwardhan. Though
dilapidated all the three doors to the fort are still standing
tall. A little further there is a buddhist cave. The fort is
well fortified. At dolkathi there is a long pole
on which flag is hosted.
The route from behind the bhairoba temple leads to Manaranjan fort.
The entrance is in ruins, on top there is good forestation. Fortification of
