Trek to Harishchandragad is a real great expedition involving crossing of seven hills. Definitely not for the faint hearted as the trail is strenuous and some sections cut into almost vertical rock faces. Standing at4,691ft, this fort is one of the finest trekking destinations along the Sahyadri ranges and is known for its spectacular valley views filled with unbelievable natural tapestry of wild flowers blooming everywhere. Moreover, one can visit various popular hill stations near pune along with their family and friends.

An obvious sight during monsoons, the trek is best done in the season as it’s filled with waterfalls, mist clad mountains, and unexpected showers adding to the charm. Harishchandreshwar Temple atop the fort ruins lies nestled in such pristine surroundings. Lake Saptatirtha Pushkarni adjoins the temple. The most fascinating spot on this trekking in Pune is the Konkan Kada offering breath-taking view of the entire fort area. Kedareshwar Cave is the other attraction
