Pune Flights >> Pune Tourist Attractions >>>Lohagad & Visapur Forts

Lohagad and Visapur Forts are situated atop an extraordinary hill near Malavali, 52 km away from Pune. These forts were built in the 18th century. A 1 km long ridge separates the two forts. These forts are regarded to be ideal for trekking and can be toured in a day from Pune.

Visapur fort, which is 3,500 feet in height, is situated between Lohagad and Bedse Caves. A huge cannon of 10 feet in length feet is the main attraction of Visapur, as it has an impression of royal crown.

Lohagad, which is 3,400 feet high, is a very wide stretch fort. Ganesh Darwaja, Narayan Darwaja, Hanuman Darwaja and Maha Darwaja are the four doors to Lohagad from the nearby village. A few sculptures are still visible on Maha Darwaja.

Vinchu Kata is the famous spot of Lohagad - which is a range of hills that looks like Capricorn. Pawana Dam can be viewed from the backside of Lohagad. Sinhagad fort, Tung fort and Tikona fort can be clearly seen from the Visapur fort. These two forts are historically very critical and must be visited by ramble lovers and history lovers.

Nearest airport and railway station is at Pune. Regular buses and locals are available from Shivajinagar and Pune Station to Kamshet and Malavali.
