जय
We
have
visited
Torna
Fort
on
19th
November
2023.Its
was
immense
pleasure
to
Visit
Torna
Fort.Historically
Torna
Fort
has
great
importance,It
is
first
fort
conquered
by
Ch
Shivaji
Maharaj
at
the
age
of
17
years.As
it's
first
fort
of
Swarajya
it's
named
as
Toran
of
Swarajya
I.e.
Torana
Gad,it
is
also
Known
as
Prachandgad
I.e.
huge
fort.The
area
of
Torna
fort
is
really
huge
which
is
covered
with
many
mountains,hills,peaks.The
fort
was
very
well
constructed
and
developed
by
Ch.Shivaji
Maharaj
till
date
long
tatbandi
,huge
buruj
are
in
good
condition
,nowadays
government
takes
initiative
of
maintaining
fort
structure.You
can
reach
at
Torna
fort
by
route
Pune-Velhe-Torna
Fort
Base
.Vehicle
can
reach
upto
Torna
For
base
where
ample
parking
is
available
with
food
stall
from
where
you
can
take
food,water
as
you
will
not
get
water
and
food
for
longer
distance.From
fort
base
it
will
take
1
to
1.5
hour
to
reach
at
fort
top
via
Bini
Darwaja
,the
darwaja
is
still
in
very
good
condition
and
entrance
is
in
curved
manner
which
is
kept
curved
in
strategically
to
confuse
enemy's
reached
upto
door.Firstly
you
will
reach
at
goddesses

fort
Mata
Mengai
Devi,the
temple
is
in
good
condition
you
can
take
blessings
of

and
start

have
to
visit
Zunjar
Machi,Sadar,
Budhala
Machi,Chitta
darwaja,Hatti
maidan,Konkani

tanks
etc.Many
of
time
rapplers
explore
Budhala
Machi
peak
by
rappling
.To
explore
total
Torna
fort
it
will
take
atleast
2
days.There
are
range
trekk
paths
from
Torna
fort
to
Rajgad
fort
which
is
famous
range
trekk
of
approx.5
to
6
hours
for
regular
trekkers,we
did
same
on
same
day
which
is
thrilling
experience.
Zunjar
Machi
is
really
strategically
constructed
and
still
is
in
good
condition.
Budhala
Machi
is
really
looks
challenging
structure.
The
trekk
is
moderate
,also
the
fort
base
has
dam
which
is
really
beautiful
and
scenic
veiw.
Try
to
maintain
area
neat
in
clean,don't
throw
plastic
items
here
and
there.
