Irshalgad Fort Trek: A Thrilling Adventure in the Sahyadri’s

Well, when was the last time you had travelled with your friends? If I'm guessing right either it would be a year ago or more than that. But you might be curious to travel out with friends and enjoy the mother nature's greenery & make memorable moments. Same was the feeling of mine & my friends because all of us are tired of this pandemic and quarantine period. So, to make a change in travelling was the first act which came in our mind.

There's a different craze of trekking, hiking, or travelling to hill station especially in monsoon season. As I am native of Maharashtra, the home ground of well-known Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, we are blessed with attractive forts, beautiful waterfalls and hills & valleys region like Sahyadri. Travelling to this place in monsoon is like visiting heaven. Most crowd is seen every year in month of June to August.

One of my recent hiking is done in Irshalgad and I had a wonderful experience. It is very close to Lonavala and straight road from Karjat chowk just a small right turn for Irshalgad or Morbe dam. So how did I plan for it?  It's very long story but I can say whatever my last decision to go for Irshalgad was blissful and memorable one.

I wake up early morning at 5.30 am pack my luggage, some food stuff, 2 litre water and went with my friends at 6.30 am. It was my first view. As we started walking in the natural greenery our mind was getting more relax. But this was just a start as we slowly put our step towards the first point. And it makes us Awww!!  That was amazing view of Morbe dam and nature scenery. 

Morbe dam ... Collage of many small river. which provides water to all Mumbaikars. As we again move towards the top, we faced light rainfall and cold wind which made our trek more interesting. It was such a beautiful view as rain shower. Finally, we came up to 2nd point where we saw the top of Irshalgad from very far distance... Journey was still incomplete... Then we headed towards actual hilltop of Irshalgad. 

As we move step by step some of my friends were tired but we push their limit and finally we touched the top of Irshalgad.

The blue sky 

The white Fogg

The natural greenery 

The hilly mountains

The peace 

The silence 

The sound of birds. 

Then we clicked some selfies and captured some pics. It was very awesome trek and also memorable one. This hilly mountain was just speechless. The main part came, when the Fogg was clearing and golden heart of greenery was coming through. This view made my entire day successful. 🔥🔥

Hope you may also come and go through this wonderful experience it is just a heaven. Enjoy your life and make more memories.
