Rajgad Route and Camping information?

Hi my name is Amitesh,
In the next month, me and my friends are planning to go to Rajgad. Need some information on the routes and the provision for staying on the fort.

No one from our group has ever been to Rajgad before. I have heard that the route through Chor Darwaja is a bit tough. And what is the provision for sleeping on the fort?
Your inputs are valuable.

Answer

Hi Amitesh,
There are 2 routes for Rajgad fort.

  • Through Gunjawane village - This route will take you to the Chor Darwaja and is a bit tough at the ending. 10% of this route is a bit difficult and requires concentration and some efforts to cross.
    By this route it will take you around 3 hours to get to the top of the fort
  • Through Pali VIllage - This route is recommended if there are inexperienced members in your group. This route is relatively simple and it takes around 2.5 hours to get to the top of the fort. 
    From this way you will get to the main door of the fort.

For night stay: There are 2 temples on the fort which can be used for night stay. One temple has a capacity of 45 persons and another one has a capacity of 6.
So these can be used for sleeping at night. Note, please carry enough food and water as there are no food outlets on the fort.

Please leave a comment below if you have any inputs for the question above.
