About
The Raigad to Rajgad Range Trek is a profoundly historic and challenging expedition that connects two of the most significant forts in Maratha history. This trek is a pilgrimage for enthusiasts, as it traces the very path that linked Raigad, the capital of the Maratha Empire, to Rajgad, its first capital. The multi-day journey is a true test of endurance, with rugged terrain, steep climbs, and dense forests that transport you back in time. As trekkers traverse this path, they not only witness breathtaking panoramic views of the Sahyadri mountains but also feel a deep connection to the spirit of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, whose legacy is etched into every stone and trail.
