About This Experience
Kalavantin Durg, situated adjacent to the Prabalgad Fort, was an ancient watchtower strategically placed along the old Mumbai-Pune trade route. This fort is known for its breathtaking rock-cut steps, which wind up the mountain and bring hikers to the peak. It is considered a marvel of architecture because of these steps. As you make your way up the winding staircases, the breathtaking natural beauty of your surroundings and the adrenaline rush of an exposed climb will leave you in hypnotic awe.
When you reach the top, you'll be rewarded with a breathtaking view that takes in the surrounding mountains, valleys, and the sprawling cityscape below you. It is impossible to adequately describe the overwhelming sense of achievement that comes with overcoming the challenging fort, which is why this is the kind of adventure that you will remember and value for the rest of your life.
In addition to its historical significance, Kalavantin Durg is a trekker's paradise, offering a perfect blend of adventure and scenic beauty. It should come as no surprise that this hike is a favourite among those who are interested in adventure because the terrain is both challenging and beautiful at the same time. Therefore, if you are looking for an adventure that will provide you with adrenaline and the opportunity to take in the area's breathtaking scenery, the Kalavantin Durg trek is an excursion you should not pass up!
