Shreevardhan Fort

Rajmachi Night Trek - Watching Fireflies and Trek to Shrivardhan Fort

Hi Guys, I recently trekked to Rajmachi which is in Lonavla, Maharashtra. It is one of the fewer places in Maharashtra where you can experience abundance of fireflies in the pre monsoon season when they perform mating. I visited this place in the 1st week of June, with Bhatkanti Maharashtrachi. It was a surreal experience with thousands of fireflies dancing around over your head while you trek towards the Rajmachi village. The next day we also trekked to Shrivardhan fort in Rajmachi and the view was breathtaking with clouds touching the mountains, its worth the walk.

Feel free to contact me on my other social platforms!

Rajmachi Fort Trek | An Amazing Place For Trekking In Lonavala | Mumbai | Maharashtra

A glimpse at my trek to Rajmachi Fort, Lonavala.
Since I had forgotten my gopro cam, i had made only a few clips in my mobile.

Rising above the popular hill stations of Khandala and Lonavala; Rajmachi fort Trek is one of the most exciting trekking experiences in Maharashtra. Visible from Mumbai-Pune Expressway on right hand side of Borghat. It is a famous spot for trekking.

The height of this fort from sea level is 2710 feet and it offers an amazing view of the Sahyadri mountains and the backwaters of Shirota Dam. The fort consists of two Balekillas [Shrivardhan and Manaranjan] which are the main attraction points here
Although the trek itself does not include steep climbs, it requires a rigorous health endurance as you will have to walk almost 10kms at a stretch. Surrounded by huge waterfalls during monsoon, you can view the beautiful kataldhar waterfall from Shrivardhan Fort. Rajmachi Fort has many caves used by trekkers for night halt.

Its best to go there in during rains because rains keeps you fresh and energetic in that location. Near fort there is a very small town. The local people give their homes on rent and also provide food. The food is really very good and cheap too (keeping the location in mind).

Prominent landmark for the fort is Della Adventure park. From Della adventure park, Rajmachi fort is exactly 11.6 kms away. There is a Y shaped diversion in between the road from Della to Rajmachi. You got to take a left turn from here. The road on the right goes to a village called Valvand which is on a different side of Rajmachi.
You might want to park your vehicle near the diversion as the road after that is really bad. Its more like a dirt bike racing track.

Rajamchi Fort (machi=plateau) is a combination of two fortresses Shrivardhan fort (Ballekilla) & Manaranjan fort (Ballekilla). Due to heavy rain and curfew, we could only climb the Shrivardhan fort (Manaranjan fort next time :). A very scenic view of Kataldhar Waterfall can be seen from the Rajmachi plateau.
There are two routes to the fort one is from Karjat (Raigad district), the Kondane caves routes from where a diversion leads to Rajmachi and the other easiest one is via Lonavla (Pune district).

Local families at Udhewadi on Fort Rajmachi welcome trekkers and nature lovers. The local families provide food and camping accommodation to the tourists. The tourism has enabled the local community to give up traditional occupations like agriculture and cattle rearing.

Historically, Rajmachi Fort was a strategic fort to control Borghat (the Ghat between Khopoli and Khandala on Mumbai-Pune route) which was a historical trade route. It was in the possession of Angre family, the head of the Maratha navy in the 18th century.

rajmachi trek...shreewardhan and yashodhan forts at rajmachi village...lonavla

Rajmachi is a wonderful village located in between two forts shreewardhan and yashodhan.This little village has a solar electric power plant which is the only source of electricity for this place.population there is also very less.the locals basically have adopted tourism as their profession apart from farming.

Its a 5hr walk from lonavla railway station but completely worth it during monsoon as u see it in the video.
If your planning for a trip to rajmachi do take flash lights,mosquito repellents and glucose with you.
The scenic beauty of this place will make u spellbound.
Do wear a good pair of trekking shoes as to reach the two forts the way is kindaa steep and dangerous.
