Overview
Jivdhan (also spelled Jeevdhan) is a hill fortress at 1,144 m, situated about 1 km from the town of Ghatghar in Junnar Taluka, Pune district, guarding the ancient Naneghat trade route through the Sahyadris. Nearby stands the Vanarlingi Pinnacle, a striking 385 ft rock spire famous among climbers and adventure trekkers.
This trek departs overnight, reaching Jivdhan base in the early hours for a short rest before a pre-dawn ascent. At the top, the group does a valley crossing from Jivdhan Fort across to the Vanarlingi Pinnacle, followed by a rappel back down to the base of Jivdhan Fort — a combination that makes this one of the more adrenaline-heavy adventure treks around Igatpuri and Junnar.
