Slipper climb and descent but the plateau at the top was worth it. Couldn't find a way to the very top where the temple. Saw lots or wildlife and the path was rife with mosquitoes so carry repellent and lots of water, a cap and possibly a change of clothes. Good shoes are a must. The way to the fort is from Shelte Village.
Kohoj fort lies on the northern side of Maharashtra on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway. The fort is around 3,200 ft in altitude from sea level. Built by the Bhoj dynasty, the fort was about 800 years old; however, later, the Portuguese captured this fort. As per the history books, Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj surrendered 22 forts to the Mughals on 11 June 1665 under the Treaty of Purander, and Kohoj fort was one of them. The fort was used as a watch tower for the surrounding coastal area; The fort is now destroyed & abandoned for a long time. The trek is a must-do for every trek because of the scenic route & the moderate challenge it offers. The trek is one of the underrated Sahyadri treks; if going during the winter, you will find the entire trail for yourself on most days.
1.Overall a medium level trek 2. while on the trek path you'll find beautiful waterfall (small ones but safe) 3. Apply mosquitoes repellant coz this place has a ton of mosquito's but once you reach the top its beautiful and mosquito free zone 4. Car's can be parked in the base village at the beginning of the trail
I found this trek quite hard, as it was one of the very first treks I've had, I thought I would never finish this trek because, it felt quite tough. It's very important to pack very little while attempting treks for novice trekkers, While walking towards the top, the lack of breeze can have you feeling breathless and in sweat in no time, having helpful n understanding teammates are always an asset, n try to not finish all your water while attempting to climb. Your legs might pain for about 48 hrs post the trek, and you might also sleep soundly for a very long time. The magical sunrise time starts from 6.30am to 7.45am. The morning sunrise is beautiful, and will keep your spirits high for a long time..it's advisable to carry little food to munch on while watching the sun peeking out, but being extremely careful about not littering the place in any way. the villagers living around the area are friendly and offer good homemade tasty meals.
Amazing trek, includes patches of trails, rock climbing and steps. The top offers a breathtaking view of the Manor-Wada road and surrounding mountain ranges. The base village (Vaghote village) is easily accessible from Palghar Station by bus or shared autos. The trek is pretty easy and will take you around 3 hours. Finding the route is not very easy so you have to look out for arrows and markings. You get to see fortifications, temples and water tanks.
"Visit carefully".. If you want to trek from far road then go from "shelte" village.. Otherwise there are many tracks amgoan, nane, etc
Difficulty: Medium to Tough Route : Has a ribbon marked trail , very less crowded. Avoid taking the base village mapped on Google as it leads to a longer trail not well mapped. Food and Beverages : There are no outlets or stalls put by villagers on this trail however base village has some locals offering home food Crowd : Less popular and good of crowd even on weekends View : This has a temple on top and a Shivaji Maharaj statue installed at the top.
Best experience in nature.. any time you have to visit here.. mostly in monsoon
