Base Camp
Maharashtra, the Kingdom of the Great Maratha King “Shivaji Raje” is called the ‘Land of Forts’ and rightly so,
the state is a witness to the presence of more than 350 forts. The rough edge of the black basaltic rock or ‘kaatal’ reveal their essence in every season, and makes the adventure worth exploring!
The topography of the Sahyadris has its eternal connection with Maharashtra and the effect of history of rulers, coupling which has given the construction of the most magnificent forts, each having history of its own. These forts, accentuating the mountains and the coastline both, unveil the black magic of Sahyadris through the weathered yet strongly rooted structures. One look at the still standing cadres cannot but help make one imagine the beauty and the grandeur of these magnificent forts during the era gone by.
