Visapur Fort
विसापूर किल्ला
A high plateau fort facing Lohagad across the valley. In the monsoon the stone steps up the slope turn into streams, making it a classic rainy-season hike for walkers from Mumbai and Pune.
Visapur Fort was built in the early 18th century by the Maratha Peshwa dynasty. At about 1080 m, it is higher and larger than Lohagad, but its walls are rather bare and ruined. The best-known route is the 'waterfall trail', which follows steep stone steps upstream in the monsoon, and the summit has broad meadows, rock-cut houses and the remains of water tanks. From Bhaja village, the climb to the top takes about 1.5 hours. Entry is free, there are no facilities, sturdy non-slip shoes are essential, and solo hiking during the monsoon is not recommended.
