Purandar fort- All age people can travel. 7km away from main road. 7km road is also good maintained. Parking facility available. We visited on W1 Oct21,that time entry closed for fort by Army. If interested in fort only, then crosscheck and go. Nice hotels/snacks point available on main road.

Purandar fort has a great historical references even from the Ramayana’s time. It was told that when Hanuman was travelling with Dronagiri mountain some part of it fall down on the earth and then after it is known as Purandar and Vajra fort. The Putandar fort is now under military surveillance due to military training camps. Everyone need to carry their photo id proof and through checking conducted at the fort entrance. There are not much monuments on the fort however few temples are still on good condition. At the entrance there is a statue of Veer Murar Baji Deshpande who was a great maratha warrior. Fort also famous for the birth place of Chattrapati Sambhaji Raje (son of Chattrapati Shivaji Raje). One can also visit the museum at the fort which is well maintained and gives knowledge about various forts and pictorial life story of Chattrapati Shambhu Raje. Roads are very good and allows to reach almost at the top of fort.

I along with three other people went to this fort. And my experience was quite good considering the visit. First of all, ,if you are planning to visit this fort, then make sure to be an early bird. We reached this fort in the afternoon at around 2 o'clock and we couldn't make it to the top just because of the closure timings of the fort. Because of the military presence, they people don't allow you to climb the fort after 2:30 and they will repeatedly remind you of the exit timing that is 3:30. So if you are reading this and planning to visit this fort I would suggest you to visit in the early morning so that you can experience it all. And things which are mandatory- your original photo id proof and vaccination certificate. They will ask you at the time of entry. They will give you cheat after entry, make sure to not loose it or misplace it. They take it back at the time of exit. If you are carrying camera it is not allowed. Keep it in your vehicle or else they will keep your camera bag in there custody and will return it to you while exiting. Because there is military presence they have re constructed the lower part and it feels so good and refreshing over there. That's all about it. I am adding some photos which I took from my mobile, enjoy it.

Actually This Fort is gem of our area But I don't understand why people don't visit here. There is not very much to see here but as a Maratha history lover you never get boar because this place is historically important. There is good vegetation cover, well road network, we have army support in emergency, there are some fortification elements for understand defence. There are some beautiful tropical landforms.
