Why to visit Visapur Fort
The Visapur Fort, near Visapur hamlet and Lonavala, is a popular hill fort. It's also known as Visapoor Fort and is a favourite weekend destination for Pune and Mumbai residents. The magnificent fort is a famous trekking location. The ascent to Visapur Fort is rocky but enjoyable. It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours each way and concludes at a height of 3556 feet, starting in Bhaje village.
The fort is 1084 metres above sea level and offers panoramic views of hills clothed in a dense covering of green. The vegetation, gushing waterfalls, and gorgeous fog make the monsoons the finest time to explore Visapur Fort. This enormous fort was constructed as a replica of the well-known Lohagad fort.
The trip to the summit of Visapur fort can be done in two ways.
- 1st path: The route from the base hamlet of Lohagadwadi, which is also the starting point for Lohagad Fort, is more well-defined and speedier. The second path is more convoluted, slower, and more difficult to discover at times, but it is more adventurous and interesting, especially during the monsoons.
- 2nd path: To take the second route, drive your car to Patan village and then ask locals where the walk begins. The nicest feature about this course is that you walk through a variety of terrain in one trek: you walk over a meadow for a while, cross many waterfalls, travel through a dense forest, and then go right up a flowing waterfall for the last ascent. Except for a few spots, the route is well-defined; look for arrows carved into the stone at these spots. Keep in mind that the trail that leads up to the waterfall must be followed.
