Geography & terrain

Sinhagad lies in the Pune district of Maharashtra at about 1,310 m, 30 km from Pune and 150 km from Mumbai — the trek fort of the region, its 1670 battle, the gateways and the sunset decks set on the Sahyadri ridge.

History & culture

The fort's story runs with the 1670 battle era — the trek fort of the 1670 battle and the 17th-century-era gateways of the Maratha era, with the fort's modern role as the trek stop of the Pune circuit and the home of the 1670-era battlements and the Tanaji gate and the Kalyan darwaja; the fort's history of the 2000s-era trek life and the monsoon green, gives Sinhagad its trek character.
