Want to do small trek with family, freinds? Then you must visit this place. Well restored steps. From the fort you can see Beautiful view of Manikdoh Dam. Parking space available for 4 wheeler, 2 wheeler. Hotel and parking available at the foot of the fort. 1 hr required to reach the top of the fort.

Wonderful experience. Small but decent trek for kid's or Elder people. Approximately 10km from junnar towards Nane ghat. We enjoyed the trek a lot. Surely recommend for Everyone.

Small 45 minute hike with newly made stairs till halfway and ancient rock cut stairs supported by railings further till the top. Difficulty level medium and endurance level easy. There are many things to see on the fort including, Pushkarni with Shankar mandir, Saptmatrika(Group of 7 interconnected water tanks), ancient rock cut caves, Chavanda Devi Mandir, Sadar, one cannon, and many other things. The caves can easily accomodate around 20 people and it remains dry even during peak monsoon. Beware of monkeys.

Easy one day trek. You can go by public transport to the base of this fort. It is very near from junnar (shivneri fort). There is only one small hotel at the base. Easy to climb. There are steps half way and railing, so that we can easily climb hard patch. There are 2-3 lakes on the fort. Chavand Devi temple, sadar - where we can stay overnight. Good trek in winter and summer. Good to Trek with family and groups. Many forts can be seen if clear weather. The place is so calm and beautiful. Try to catch small amazing things on the fort.

Great and safe short trek to visit with family and friends.. Continue along Naneghat road and take a detour near Chawand village.. You also get home cooked veg and non veg food at the footsteps.. 4 km further is an ancient temple worth a visit called Kukdeshwar

A good choice for Trek beginners as the trek level is easy. The Fort is not in a very good condition but a must visit place.

Good fort to visit. Stairs are built and maintained so that people can visit. Liked the water tanks and Chavanda Devi temple at the top. When I visited this fort in the month of December. Grass (Grass like plants) are taller than average person height. It was enough to scare for a moment knowing that we are in Junnar and Leopard 🐆 spotting is normal here.

Chawand Fort, also known as Prasannagad Fort, is a historically significant site with impressive architecture, panoramic views, and water management systems. It housed the Chawanda Devi Temple and featured a clever Water Kund for self-sustainability. The fort's rich history and cultural elements make it a must-visit destination.

Fort with documented history from year 1500, steep climb which is now made easier due to railings. A great adventure and nature at its best in monsoon

Chavand ( Marathi: चावंड किल्ला) is a hill fortress situated 30 km from the modern-day town of Naryangoan in Junnar Taluka of Pune district in Maharashtra, India. The fort, which rises 1,036 meters (3,399 feet) above sea level, is located in the Sahyadri mountain range. The fort was looted and destroyed by the British upon siege. This is one of the forts known as the 'Famous 5'. Chavaand, Hadsar, Shivneri, Jivdhan and Naneghat form the Famous 5 trek. The fort has remnants of construction that are more than 800 years old. Village of Chavandwadi lies at the base of the fort. Founder of Nizam Dynasty, Nizam Ahmed was the first Nizamshah who acquired the fort of Chavand after the dissolution of the Bahmanid Empire. The seventh Nizamshah was Burhanshah II. Bahadurshah's grandson was imprisoned 1594 and was taken away to this fort.[1] Bahadurshah is the nephew of Chandbibi. In 1636, the Mughals got the fort of Chavand by signing a treaty with the Nizams. On 1 May 1818 the British forces captured the fort [2]

Nice to climb and best view on top of the fort

Beautiful place to visit. It's small Trek, you can plan other spot also along with this. Difficulty level is easy, only on patch near to top is little bit difficult but railings are there for support. You can see Temple, Saptkund, Grain storage place etc on fort.

Moderate to ascend. summer and winter is best season to visit. This is just like watch tower. Amazing View from top.

This is best trek near junnar and we enjoyed a lot over here. There is only one risky patch over it and when we reach over fort we are able to see manikdoh dam and other forts

चावंड गड (प्रसन्न गड) one of the best fort in junnar Region.Easy to climb.very small patch of raling which is little harder.overall good trek.Chavanda Mata Temple situated at the top of fort.Sapta Matruka & 2 water tank at the fort. One Shree Mahadeva Temple also there near one water tank but not in good condition.Small caves also there.

we enjoyed the trip a lot!

Amazing place to visit

Surreal soothing trek.. best in monsoon and in winter, easy and safe, can take kids/family

Easy for trek...best view from top...hardly 30 mins required to reach the top of the fort...

Good treak for beginners. 2 to 3 hours will take to complete. There are not many things to see.

Great for beginners. 70% passage of the trek is of stairs. Should be maintained more in order to preserve otherwise in some years the place will vanish.

Best place to visit in monsoon 👌👌. Trek for this fort is of 45 minutes & top view of this fort is very scenic.From this fort we can see Hadsar fort which is identical in shape of chawand.

It's a short and easy trek except for one dangerous passage. Fort is blessed with a serene Shiva temple. These heritage sites need more attention from government.

The name itself is sufficient - Prasannagadh. There are many things to see in the fort beginning from the 400-450 steps.

Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj 🙏 Well routed fort with a lot of things to see on top.

Very beautiful fort.. trek is easy.
