Overnight trek to Pratapgad and Madhu Makarand Gad

The heat is increasing day by day but it would not resist the enthusiastic trekkers to visit our historic forts in the Sahyadries. We can still find a route which will be leading to some of the forts which are surrounded by evergreen thick forest. This will give us the joy of pleasant journey, scenic beauty and a tremendous view from the top.
