★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Clean and well maintained. Take a share cab from Lonavala for Rajmachi village and directly reach the base of the fort, if you want to skip the trek and see both the fortresses. If you like a good, back breaking trek then start from Kondivade- Karjat. Enjoy!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One the best place to go for treak in mansoon. Visited on 17 june 2018 . In mansoon , due to muddy road it becomes difficult to ride on roads... We had walked for almost 6kms till the base of fort. Riders can take bike all over till the base..but muddy roads increases the difficulty level.
Was an Awesome experience. We went at the start of mansoon so didnt experience any waterfall.
Note : Rajmachi has two forts one is Manranjan and other is Shrivardhana. The photos added are of only Shrivardhana. Before planning to visit , try to go early in the morning so that u can visit both ballekilla.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the best forts I have seen. Best season to visit is mansoon. It will be better to go by your own bike. Rental cars are available but due to bad road conditions their rents are too high, so better to go by bike.
Places to visit: shrivardhan balekilla , manranjan balekilla , kataldhar waterfalls.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Rajmachi fort is basically devided in two parts i.e. Shrivardhan fort and Manranjan fort. Shrivardhan fort offers a pleasant view of lonawala side. From top of this fort we can see a part of Dhak Bahiri fort. In rainy season from Udhewadi side of this fort we can see wonderful view of Kataldhar waterfall. Very famous trekking spot near karjat and lonawala

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Shrivardhan Fort is one of the two hill forts that constitute the Rajmachi fortification, the other being Manaranjan Fort.
It is located in Rajmachi village which 8.5 km from Lonavala in the Sahyadris mountain range. At 900 m(3000 feet) above sea level it was the taller of the two peaks and was named after Shrivardhan Ganpatrao Patwardhan.
Other than a rampart there is no visible construction. It was probably used at a watchtower for the Sahyadri region.
There are two water tanks at the top of the hill but one of them has an iron pillar in it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Rajmachi is a small village situated in the sahyadri mountain range of the konkan region of Maharashtra. Rajmachi is famous for the historical fortress which has two fortified peaks - Shrivardhan and Manaranjan forts, located near two famous hills of #lonavala and #khandala . The fort of Rajmachi is famous among trekkers and adventure enthusiasts. If you want to experience a full-fledged #trek, you can start from the Kondhane caves side which will take 3-4 hours of climbing, but otherwise you can drive right upto Udhewadi village (from the Lonavala side) and then trek for hardly 20-30 minutes to the top of the fort. Keep in mind that road to the village from lonavala is very harsh.
The simple and clearly marked trail on both the paths make rajmachi a very popular beginner's trek.
