Nisarga Bhraman is pleased to announce a much awaited trek of the season - Ratangad. Join us as we are heading to explore Ratangad and enjoy scenic views from top of it on Sunday, 13th September 2015.
We will be ascending via Tryambak Darwaja and descending via Ganesh Darwaja & Shidi Route.
About the fort:
Type: Hill Fort
Height: 4255 Feet above MSL (Approx)
Grade: Easy

Region: Bhandardara
Ratangad, also known as the “Jewel of Forts” is located in the Bhandardara region. The view of Katra cliffs and backwaters of the Wilson dam from atop the fort is breathtaking. The trek up to the fort is enjoyable as the route passes through the fields, one has to cross a Pravara River, couple of streams along the way. One has to climb a ladder to Ganesh Darwaja as the rock cut steps were destroyed by Britishers. Trimbak Darwaja is a marvelous piece of architecture. Khutta pinnacle, Kalsubai peak, forts like Alang, Madan , Kulang, Pabargad and Ajoba mountain etc can be seen from top. Ratangad is a source of river Pravara.
