We visited sinhagad yesterday and experience a lot of rain and fog at the top. The place looked beautiful. They have paved walkways now for ease of navigation. The kalyan darwaza has a marked board so you can't miss it. And the view around it is pretty.
Kalyan Darwaja is one of the main entrances to the fort and is named after the Kalyan village located nearby. It is one of the most popular entry points to the fort and offers a panoramic view of the surrounding area.The fort has a significant place in the history of the Maratha Empire and was the site of several battles between the Marathas and the Mughals. Today, it is a popular tourist destination and attracts a large number of visitors who come to explore its historic ruins and enjoy the scenic beauty of the area.
Serene view offers this Sinhagad fort of pune . Its the only for i guess where you can take your vehicle till the top from where there is very less walking . That's the reason its easily accessible for older people too so abvoid public holidays as there will the alot of families. They have a big parking at the top so dont park your cars on road side as they just create trafffic for others . The 50rs slip paid before entering the mountain ranges includes the parking. As soon as you entre the fort from the PUNE DARWAJA 1 you ll need to cross 2 more doors lyk that and than you ll find some yummy food for which this fort is famous . There you ll find many people asking you to have lunch but i ll suggest you to climb a little bit on the fort and you ll get alot of options . You can have 150rs thali which includes all unlimited baigan ka bhaarit & pitla with rice and bhakri . This dahi is very tasty but a bit expensive 30rs each and its pretty small . On going forward you can watch this amazing sculptures of "the unsung warriors" . I ll suggest you visit this small park in the centre of the fort . Further you can see the "KALYAN DARWAJA" which is hidden and offers great view of the ranges . You ll need to walk alot to experience all this so come early morning and carry water bottles with you .
Mesmerizing experience. U literally get goosebumps when you visit this place. The fort has now been kept quite clean to attract tourists. Good quality food at decent prices. Better to reach earlier than normal time as you get time to explore the unexplored places.
This Fort and This Darwaja Has a special place in every Maharashtrian's heart .. The battle between Brave Tanhaji Malusare and Udaybhan is known to all. They Entered and climbed through this gate & Reconquered The Fort... The condition of the gate is not so well maintained, but i read that government has issued funds to restore the Darwaja ...
Still standing straight and full of pride, an amazing piece of history and architecture
An awesome experience visited Sinhgad fort. Kalyan darwaja was one of the important doors from where suryaji entered the fort and it is in the back side of it.. I feel very happy. I went to that fort and saw with my own eyes the history of Marathas.. must visit..
Kalyan Darwaja is the most used entry point back in the time as a trek to the fort from this side is comparatively easier than the Pune Darwaja.. It is a series of 2 doors to prevent enemies from entering and buying some time to attack them.
