Kurdugad -

Near the base of the Kurdugad is a temple of goddess ‘Kurdai’. On the way up, there are remnants of a gateway. Entering by this gateway a Hanuman idol, about 1m in height grabs our attention. Behind this idol we find a natural ghal (groove). This groove can easily accommodate around 100-150 people. Fort has 2 large pinnacles, of which one comprises the Fort top. One can traverse the path around the pinnacle, but it is damaged completely at certain places in between. There are one or two water tanks on the fort. Fort top offers excellent view of entire nearby region. Location of the Kurdugad attaches to it real significance, strategically. A pass called Tamhani ghat, can be easily controlled from here. Besides, it has Raigad and Kokandiva forts on its backside. Half an hour is enough to explore the fort top.

It is small as compared to Parvatgad but is worth visiting. Parvagad is huge but many few remains are there on top. The route is steep and full of scree.

One day trek to Gorakhgad on 22nd December 2013

We are glad to announce a one day trek on 22nd December 2013 to Gorakhgad, which is located close to Murbad is a trek that offers a challenge to both the mind and body.

It offers a regular hike in the woods followed by beautiful rock cut steps that lead to the cave on the fort. Another vertical flight of stairs cut through the rock wall lead up to the top of the fort which houses a small temple of Gorakhnath. One can get a panoramic view from the top, not to mention the thrill of an exposed climb via the stairs.

This trek is an adrenaline rush for all who look for something different to do over a weekend!

Due to unpredictability of public transport at Kalyan - Murbad Road, we will be travelling by a private transport from Mumbai to make a comfortable journey.



Nisarga Bhraman invite you all to join us at a one day trek to Gorakhgad on Sunday, 22nd Dec 2013.
