Koraigad/ Korigad Fort Trek

Beginning the new year with a trek, how good is that !!!

How to get there?

Mumbai --> Lonavala --> Bushi Dam --> INS Shivaji --> Peth Shahpur village(2-4 kms before Amby Valley).

Once you are in Lonavala ask for the direction of Amby Valley since that village is very small and not famous. It is around 25 kms from Lonavala.

The total trek distance is quite small and you can cover it in an hour.

Best time to visit is winter. In summer, the heat will become unbearable since you have nearly a 2.5 km trail to cover on the top of fort without a single tree or any other shade. In rains, I think you will not be able to see anything at all from the top.

Caution: Depths in the photograph are greater than what they appear.
I still don't understand why hardly any of the photographs from the 4 digicams, reflect the true depths as we saw. Almost 90% of the pix have misleading depths.

The Village Trail

The trail begins near a school in the village. This part is stony and dusty and without much forest cover.
