VISAPUR FORT
Malewadi, Pune, Maharashtra, India
Perched upon a lush green plateau, the Visapur Fort is a popular weekend getaway for people living in Pune and Mumbai. The fort stands at the height of 1084 meters above sea level offering panoramic view hills covered in a thick blanket of green. The majestic fort is a very popular destination for the trek. The trek is not very difficult, but beginners might find it a bit too slippery during the monsoon. However, despite the slippery slope, monsoons are definitely the best time to visit Visapur Fort - the greenery, brimming waterfalls, and the beautiful fog.
Built between 1713 C.E. and 1720 C.E. by the very first Peshwa of Maratha Empire, Balaji Vishwanath, the Visapur Fort stands as a testimony to the power and prowess of the Maratha rulers and their celebrated kingship. This massive fort was built as a twin of the famous Lohagad Fort, but at a higher elevation and covering a larger surface area.
