ABOUT
IT
Chanderi
Fort
Trek
is
situated
near
Thane
in
Badlapur
region
of
Maharashtra.
It
is
not
actually
a
fort
as
there
are
no
fortifications
but
there
are
some
water
cisterns,
caves
and
rock
cut
steps.
As
The
route
to
Chanderi
fort
is
very
difficult
it
seems
that
this
place
was
used
as
a
military
base.
The
history
for
this
fort
is
not
very
well
documented,
however
it
is
worth
mentioning
as
the
jewel
in
the
crown
of
forts
in
the
district
of
Raigad.
Remnants
of
fortification
can
be
found
near
the
caves.
This
is
probably
the
only
feature
that
may
classify
Chanderi
as
a
fort.
In
1656
Shivaji
Maharaj
won
over
all
territory
up
to
Kalyan-Bhiwandi-Rairi
This
was
when
this
fort
came
under
the
rule
of
the
Marathas.
Low
water
storage
areas
and
absence
of
significant
constructions
that
rather
than
a
fort,
this
was
possibly
a
military
base.

DETAILED
PATH
Once

you
will
have
to
cross
a
little
stream

soon
will
be
able
to
realise
the
amazing
beauty
that
this
place
has
to
offer
the
open
grass
lands
soon
converts
into
taller
grass
lands
and
no
sooner
turns
into
thick
forest
you
will
have
to
cross
a
wider
stream
that
remains
dry
for
most
of
the
year
and
then
again
as
you
follow
the
markings
in
the
form
of
arrows
or
blue
sign
board
or
3
stones
kept
on
each
other
.ON
contintinuing
on
the
trail
you
will
be
able
to
see
a
spot
which
share
a
view
of
the
waterfall
,
On
our
last
visit
the
waterfall
was
mostly
dried
,
still
it
was
looking
beautiful
,
the
trail
slowly
becomes
even
dense
and
then
there
comes
a
spot
where
you
can
see
the
path
diverging
continue
on
the
path
on
the
left
As
you
continue
to
walk
soon
you
will
see
the
route
diverging
into
three
ways
this
junction
is
also
known
as
Char
Rasta
,
take
the
path
on
the
right
(as
shown
below
in
the
image
)
,
on
your
way
you
can
see
a
few
pointed
mountains
Known
as
Mhasmal
Peak
,
and
soon
you
will
be
able
to
see
the
Chanderi
Fort
peak
closely
.on
reaching
the
spot
from
where
you
can
see
the
view
of
the
above
image
,
there
is
a
Shiv
temple
on
the
right
and
as
you
climb
the
rocks
on
the
left
,
a
little
walk
will
lead
you
to
the
cave
,
beyond
the
cave
there's
a
spot
from
where
one
can
climb
to
the
peak
,
orange
coloured
flag
on
the
peak
depicts
the
top
from
this
point
it
takes
about
1
hr
to
reach
the
top
and
,
we
suggest
that
you
have
some
technical
assistance
or
atleast
you
have
some
experience
at
climbing
(there
have
been
fatalities
here
,
we
do
not
want
you
to
risk
your
life
for
the
pleasure
that
will
last
for
moments
,
if
you
are
scared
of
height
do
not
even
think
of
climbing
the
last
part
)
.
There
also
is
a
small
cistern
that
remains
filled
from
July
to
late
January
.
The
way
to
the
Cistern
is
on
the
right
.
WHEN
SHOULD
YOU
GO?
The
best
time
could
be
during
winter
,
if
you
are
going
there
in
late
in
the
morning
do
carry
sunscreen,
as
the
heat
gets
intense.
Rainy
season
could
also
provide
good
views
but
we
would
not
suggest
rains
as
it
could
get
slippery
,Carry
ample
amount
of
water
(mininmum
2.5
liters
per
person
)
to
keep
yourself
hydrated
irrespective
of
the
season
.

LEVEL
The
difficulty
level
can
range
from
medium
to
high
,
the
terrain
get
steep
,
please
do
not
go
there
unprepared.
THE
LAST
PART
CAN
PROVE
TO
BE
FATAL
IF
NOT
EXPERIENCED
OR
IF
AFRAID
OF
HEIGHTS
PLEASE
PLEASE
DO
NOT
ATTEMPT
TO
CLIMB
