Birthplace of Shivaji maharaj. It’s not really a trek. But it’s a well maintained fort. Views from the top are good. Good fort to visit. Ample parking space available. Carry some water as there are good enough steps to climb up to the fort.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Shivneri Fort with my family, and I must say it was an incredible experience. The fort holds immense historical importance and stands as a testament to our rich heritage. The well-preserved architecture and surroundings were truly captivating. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that the fort is well-maintained and kept impeccably clean. The pathways were clear, and the cleanliness added to the overall pleasant atmosphere. Exploring the different sections of the fort was a delight, each revealing a unique aspect of its history. The panoramic views from the fort were breathtaking, allowing us to connect with nature and marvel at the surrounding landscapes. It’s a place that beautifully combines historical significance with natural beauty. sharing insightful information about the fort’s significance and its role in shaping our past. Their enthusiasm added an extra layer of enjoyment to our visit. I highly recommend Shivneri Fort to anyone seeking a blend of history, culture, and scenic beauty. It’s not just a fort; it’s a journey through time and a celebration of our heritage. If you’re in the area, this is a must-visit destination that will leave you enriched and inspired.

The fort is nicely managed and is good for medium level hiking with kids. Historically Shivaji Maharaj born here other than that there is nothing for Maratha history. The fort has more signs of nizam history, a mosque is also there. A temple of Goddess Shivai. The major negative is, there is no arrangement of toilets on the fort, at least I didn't find any which is a necessity. The another thing from management side is the parking gets full in the morning itself but the person's managing the entry ticket does not inform you, and you go all the way up and then need to come down and start walking, they have reason that ppl want to drop their kids or elderly people, but its not the case with everyone so they should inform upfront and then it's upto the person to decide. Rest everything is good, the road is well built, steps are well managed, water facility is there at multiple points. Some places were dirty and were done by irresponsible visitors which is pathetic as a citizen. If the weather is on your side, you will enjoy hiking more.

A must visit fort for every maharashtrian person. Famous for birth place of Shrimant Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. A well maintained and developed fort by archaeological survey and Govt. Of Maharashtra. Some information about the fort and each place is still missing but still very well maintained. Easy fort, has steps and good to bring young kids to educate them about the history.

Fort Shivneri is a must visit for all history lovers. It takes 90 km's or 2 hours drive from Pune, once you reach Narayangaon it is some 19 km's away for the Fort. Fort Shivneri is very popular as it witnesses the birth of the great Maratha King Shivaji Maharaj. The Fort is not difficult to trek as there are steps (proper) prepared and there is an ample place to take rest on the sides. September to December is the ideal time to visit as the environment is really awesome and you will see lot of flowers along the way. You will also see the temple of Goddess Shivai Mata because of whom the King was named as "Shivaji". You can choose to take blessings of Mata before you go up or you can visit the temple while getting down. Fort is completely free from littering and one should appreciate the kind of efforts which ASI and Forest Dept has put in to making it happen. The Fort has approximately 800 steps and once you reach the top, the breathtaking view of Junnar City will make you feel fresh. Wind will flow in to your lungs and make you feel rejuvenated. While most of the construction has been destroyed but places like Shivjanmasthan are still there to show the luxury of Maratha Empire. Ambarkhana (Elephant Home) is also there but sadly there is not much of an electricity to see everything. While you reach the farthest end of the mountain, you will be able to see the place where Chatrapati was born. The room is locked but through the doors you can take a look inside. It certainly is a moment of Pride to have seen such places where such great warriors are born. After you have seen the Shivjanmasthan come out and take look at the scenery, wild flowers and breezing wind. Sit on the steps and relax for a while. While on your way down, do not forget to take the blessings of Goddess Shivai Mata. Once you come down, you can have option of having Fresh Lime, Kokum Sharbat or Light Snacks of Bhel etc. The parking is on the roadside and should not charge you more than 30 INR. If you have elderly people along with you then please plan to spend at least 3 to 4 hours for the entire journey. It certainly is a moment of Pride for every Indian to witness such a historical place. I request each one of you to avoid use of any plastic or littering as it spoils the experience of other travelers. Jay Hind, Jay Maharashtra! Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki Jay!!

It is one of the very important places in history of Maharashtra. The fort is placed very strategically and at quite high altitude, the place offers visibility on a good range of land.

A fort maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and at top of the Shivneri hill in the fort, lies the place where Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born. The fort has 7 gates built in the historical era and has a defined walking track constructed by the ASI. The pathway has rich flora coverage and is adorned by many bougainvillea trees with colourful flowers. One can come with family and enjoy the vastness of the surrounding areas from view points. Proper seating arrangements with benches have been placed at some points on the track up the hill. Mind that the place doesn’t provide proper trekking site except for some places at the premises of the fort. It has a proper walking track to move up the hill and the path is long. That’s why one can even bring kids and let them intrigued by our history and culture.

This Fort is famous as a birthplace of Great Warrior and Maratha King Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Though it has a long history dated 1st AD, being in use by Buddhist and Yadvas of Devgiri, it's real story started when King Shahaji's son was born in 1930s over here. Then the rest is known to all as a great history carved by Marathas and Shivaji Maharaj. The main place to visit is ofcourse the birthplace of the great king on top and Shirkai Devi Mandir at the bottom of fort. One feel positive vibes at both places. The caves, rock-cut architecture and water system on fort is still in good health. The fort is easy to trek and is easy to reach from Junnar.

It was okay. Better to visit in winter or start of rainy season. There are rescue teams at the tops and water for drinking available but not maintained . No washrooms just one that too pathetic. Minimum 2hrs complete needed to see all the points and come down.

Visited in Nov to Shivneri Fort on weekend. Cannot say it's full pack but yes crowd was there but no rush. Car parking at on the way on one side of road and if you lucky you may get parking nearby entry. It was 3.5 kilometres walk to the fort with half climbing stairs and half was walking on machi to reach the place. Not much to see beside Chatrapati Shiwaji Maharaj birth place, Jijau smarak. You can sit in garden and enjoy meal. Drinking water is available on top. There is no food stall available when you left entry point. Only entry point have food stall but limited.

Great place to understand the history of great king and a brave warrior. Please carry water as it is a long hike towards the fort from the parking space and no vendors are available at the top. Do not litter and help to keep the place as it is.

It's very well maintained fort. We enjoyed a lot climbing the fort. Very nice looking scenery, top views were very very great. I enjoyed a lot with my friends here

Overview of shivneri fort : Shivneri Fort is the birthplace of the founder of the Maratha Empire, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It was built in the 16th century and was recognised as a military fortification. The place is also famous for being the place where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was trained. Its proximity from Pune, atop a hill with Junnar at its base, makes Shivneri Fort a good picnic spot for the locals. Its sheer magnificence draws a considerable number of visitors each year. Plus, there are some more attractions nearby which can be covered along with the fort in a day. Those who are always looking for a quiet and quick escape into nature can head to Shivneri. Its terrain makes it a good trekking route too. Having said that, several history lovers are also drawn to the attraction for its historical significance. An English Traveller, Fraze, who visited Shivneri Fort in the late 17th century noticed that the fort was so well managed that it has enough supplies to feed thousands of families for about 6 to 7 years. The ancient architecture and its massive built is also worth a visit to Shivneri Fort. History : Shivneri Fort was built between mid and early-16th century over a trade route in Shivneri. Before the route was established, back in the 1st Century AD, Shivneri was majorly occupied by the Buddhists. Later on, the Devagiri and the Yadavas ruled this region. The aim of Shivneri Fort was to guard and protect the trade route that started from Desh and extended till Kalyan. In the 15th century, Shivneri was taken away from the Delhi Sultanate and handed over to the Bahmani Sultanate. Later, the fort was taken over by the Ahmadnagar Sultanate. In the late-16th century, Bahadur Nizam Shah II, the Sultan of Ahmadnagar appointed Maloji Bhonsle as the chief of Shivneri and Chakan. Maloji Bhonsle resided at the fort along with his family and in February 1960, Shivaji Bhonsle (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj) was born at Shivneri. His name was derived from the Shivai Temple inside the fort premises. Shivaji Bhonsle spent most of his childhood years in the fort. In 1820, the fort was acquired by the British after the Anglo-Maratha War. Important note : At Shivneri Fort, one can explore the entire premises along with the grand defending gates. Visitors get to see a mosque, a prayer hall, the Badami Talav and the water springs too. The springs are natural springs which are active all through the year. They are called Ganga and Yamuna as they were considered equally sacred. Near the pond, the statues of Shivaji Maharaj and his mother, Jijabai are installed for the visitors to pay tribute to the legends. Another famous activity to do at Shivneri Fort is Trekking through the western slope of the hill. This portion is also called “the chain route” because, during the time of Shivaji Maharaj, his troops would climb up with the help of a chain. Now, this route is a preferred trekking route by intermediate to advanced trekkers. Several trekking groups arrange for such treks at Shivneri. One can also enrol themselves for a safer and enjoyable experience. The region around Shivneri also have some attractions that travellers can explore. Some of them are Malshej Ghat, Lenyadri Caves, Junnar Fort, Pimpalgaon Joga Dam, Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope etc. If a plan is charted carefully, one might be able to cover most of these attractions in a day or so.

The fort's commanding position provides panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape, including lush valleys and rolling hills, offering visitors a sense of grandeur and a glimpse into the past. The fort's architecture showcases the ingenuity and skill of the Maratha builders. The imposing walls, intricately carved entrances, and bastions reflect the fort's defensive capabilities and the craftsmanship of the time. Exploring the fort's various sections, including the main gate, the inner chambers, and the water reservoirs, allows visitors to witness the fort's structural brilliance and get a glimpse into its historical significance. Shivneri Fort holds special importance as the birthplace of Shivaji Maharaj. The fort's significance as his ancestral home adds a layer of reverence and pride for visitors.

Visiting Shivneri Fort provides a deeper understanding of Shivaji Maharaj's life and the Maratha Empire. Information boards and guides available at the fort offer valuable insights into the fort's history, the battles fought, and the role it played in shaping Maharashtra's cultural and historical landscape.

Visitors should be prepared with comfortable footwear and take necessary safety measures while exploring the fort's premises. In conclusion, Shivneri Fort is a remarkable historical monument that offers a fascinating journey into the Maratha Empire and the life of Shivaji Maharaj.

Shivneri Fort - Shivneri is a hill fort located to the northern side of Pune district with Junnar at its base and was the birth place of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Even though the fort has succumbed to the ravages brought on by time and weather, its structural style is worth a study. The spot where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born was reconstructed in 1925 and is known as the Shiv Mandir. In its vicinity is a huge circular water tank called Badami Talav. However, it does not hold water any longer. At the far side to the north is a precipitous cliff. This narrow channel is known as the Kadelot Point.

The caves, rock-cut architecture and water system on fort is still in good health. The fort is easy to trek and is easy to reach from Junnar.

I recently visited Shivneri Fort, and overall, the fort is well maintained and in good condition. However, there are a few areas that are still under development and need to be finished to ensure ease of trekking for the elderly. While the fort is under maintenance, I observed some aspects that were not up to the mark. The washrooms were in a very filthy state, which was disappointing. Additionally, the drinking water areas had fungus around the tanks, raising concerns about hygiene. I also noticed that some visitors were littering on the pathways and throwing trash around trash cans instead of disposing of it properly. Furthermore, I observed elderly individuals struggling to trek at certain areas that lacked proper support or railing. Providing more support around these areas would be beneficial for the elderly and other visitors. Despite these issues, Shivneri Fort holds historical significance and offers a scenic trekking experience. I hope that the authorities will address the cleanliness and safety concerns to make the visit even more enjoyable for all visitors.
