More about Rajmachi
A place to Start Trek: Lonavala (from Tungarli Lake) or Kondivita Village (Near Karjat) or Fanasgaon if you have a Jeep with you.
Things to do: Trek, Fort to be explored, Camping, Pond for a swim, Good place for Bird watching and Butterflies during winter.
Rajmachi is the name given to the twin hill forts located around 18 kilometers from Lonavala, the twin forts are called 'Shrivardhan' and 'Manaranjan'.
Rajmachi can be accessed either from Lonavala or Karjat (Base Village Kondivita). The approach from Lonavala is longer but easier; from the Karjat side it is a little steep. The best way to do a Rajmachi trek is to start from Lonavala (Near Tungarli Dam) very early in the morning. An easy trek would take you to the base village around Lunch time, stay over at the base village near the twin peaks 'Shrivardhan' and 'Manranjan', a few simple village dormitories/ lodges available for stay would be happy to provide you with simple village food for a fee.
Evening takes a Dip in a Pond located at a walkable distance from Village, the trail to the pond leads to a cool patch of greenery.
You can cover twin forts near base village next day early morning. After early Lunch, you can start your trek towards Karjat. You can get Rickshaws/ ST Bus from some distance at Kondivita Village.
More about Rajmachi
Shrivardhan and Manaranjan can also be considered as two separate forts. There is one small plateau in between them. The temple of 'Bhairoba' is very beautiful. Shrivardhan is the 'Bale killa' of Rajmachi. It is almost 3000 feet high. But it was mainly built to keep watch on the Konkan area. The other - Manaranjan is 2700 feet high. Manaranjan consists of strong walls, 3 doors, and many water tanks. One can see Ulhas river, Dukes Nose (Nagphani), Karnala, Matheran, Mahuli, and Bhimashankar, etc. The old caves of 'Kondhavi' on Rajmachi fort are worth seeing. The way to the fort is long but truly with a good view. One can enjoy a nice forest, Tungarli lake, and many waterfalls as well.
