Geography & terrain

Rajmachi lies in the Raigad district of Maharashtra at about 820 m, 70 km from Mumbai and 40 km from Lonavala — the twin fort of the region, its Shrivardhan-Manaranjan walls, the trek and the camping set on the Sahyadri's valley.

History & culture

The fort's story runs with the 1657 Maratha era — the twin fort of the Shrivardhan-Manaranjan and the 1657-era watch of the Maratha rule, with the fort's modern role as the trek stop of the Mumbai circuit and the home of the 1657-era walls and the Udhewadi village and the 2-hour monsoon waterfalls; the fort's history of the 1818 British-era era and the night camping and the valley views, gives Rajmachi its twin-fort character.
