About Rajmachi Sunrise Trek:
Rajmachi is one of the most popular fort treks in Maharashtra, set in the Sahyadri hills near Lonavala. The trail is about 7 km and is rated moderate. It runs through forest and open grassland to the twin forts of Shrivardhan and Manaranjan, with valley views at the top and waterfalls along the route in the monsoon. This is an overnight trek from Pune. On the Saturday of your batch, the group gathers at Shivajinagar railway station around 2:30 PM, with a second gathering point at Chinchwad around 3 PM. Check the booking page for the exact meeting points and whether the batch you choose starts from Pune or Lonavala. From there the group travels by private vehicle towards the base village of Rajmachi, arriving in the late afternoon. You spend the night at the camp site. The next morning, the trek leader wakes the group early, around 5 AM, and leads a sunrise climb to the fort. The group reaches the top by about 6:30 AM, spends time exploring and taking photographs, and then descends to the campsite for breakfast at around 8 AM. The return journey begins by 10 AM, and most people are back in Pune by early afternoon. The route is beginner friendly in good weather but can be slippery and muddy in the monsoon. Wear shoes with grip,
