Geography & terrain

Visapur Fort lies in the Pune district of Maharashtra at about 1,084 m, 80 km from Pune and 5 km from Malavli — the twin fort of the region, its 1713-era walls, the lake and the views set on the Sahyadri ridge.

History & culture

The fort's story runs with the 1713 build era — the twin fort of the 1713-era walls and the 18th-century-era Maratha life of the Peshwa era, with the fort's modern role as the trek stop of the Pune circuit and the home of the 1713-era-era walls and the lake and the 2000s-era trails; the fort's history of the 1818-era fall and the monsoon green, gives Visapur its twin character.
