Weekend Getaways around Pune and Mumbai

These photos of Lohgad are from the climb from Pawna Lake side. The lush green beauty of the fort in the monsoons is enticing. Though for trekkers this fort is a cake walk, but the sheer beauty of the place covers up for everything. The fort still has major fortifications intact and with all the green surroundings make an amazing view.

The entrance section of the fort facing the Pawna lake is a must visit spot - it should be named the 'Wind Gates'. Sitting on the ledge here is an experience in itself - But do try it on your own risk as the wind speeds here can blow you away - LITERALLY.
