Sondai Fort Trek Route Map from base village(sondewadi)

Sondai is located between Karjat and Chowk highway and it offers a beautiful view of Morbe Dam, Prabalgad, Irshalgad, Rajmachi, Songiri forts and Matheran mountain range. This was used as a watch tower. The base village of Sondewadi stands on a considerable height. The route is easy and it takes approx 1.5 hrs to reach the top. In monsoon, a couple of rocks on the way become slippery. There are 2 water cisterns on machi (at the base of the pinnacle) and steps are carved out of rocks to go on the topmost point where an idol of Sondai Devi stands. Two more water cisterns are on the way and have potable water. Two missing steps in the rock makes one climb a small patch of 15 feet but proper hand holds and foot steps are available and that makes it easy even in monsoon. Overall it’s an ideal one day hike in monsoon for new comers in the trekking field. Sondai fort is considered one of the easiest treks in Maharashtra and the best trek for someone starting on their hiking journey. The distance from the base village to the top of the fort is around 1.7 km & it will take anywhere between 2 – 2.5 hours for an average person to complete the trek. Because of the level of the trek, you do not require a local guide. The trail starts from a parking spot at the base village and is a gradual climb of 10-15 mins until the first plateau. The 2nd part of the trail is through a forest, and then you reach a point where you have to cross two tricky rock sections, which leads to the 3rd part & the final part of the trek. This 3rd part has two staircases along the route, after which you reach the top of the Sondai fort. There are shops opened by locals throughout the trek offering water, snacks, fruits & nimbu paani. #sondaifort #sondai #trek #trekking #trail #hike #hiking #hiker #trekkers #mountains #mountain #trending #trend #trendingvideo #route #map #maharashtra #mumbai #india #googleearth #googlemaps #google #westernghats #sahyadri
