Two Days with Best of Sahyadri, Trek to RatanGad & HarishchandraGad with Vibes Outdoors



Dear Nature Lovers, Trekkers,
Here is a superb opportunity, to visit nature at its best with us,
We have arranged a Dual trek to Ratangad and to Harishchandra Gad on 12th, 13th October 13,
This is the best season to visit both the places, as varieties of flowers are bloomed, weather is at its best, sky is clear, gives best view of Kokaknkada from harishchandra gad.


Place: Ratangad, & Harishchandra gad
Base village: Ratnvadi & Pachnai
Grade : Medium
Date :- 12th & 13th October 13

General Information about the forts 



Ratangad -. The fort is about 2000 years old. Ratangad has a natural rock peak with a cavity in it at the top which is called 'Nedhe' or 'Eye of the Needle'.Ratangad was captured by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and was one of his favorites. The base village Ratanwadi has an Amruteshwar temple which is famous for its carvings. The fort is origin for the river Pravara/Amrutvahini. The bhandrdara dam(arthar dam) is built on this river.The main attraction at Ratanwadi is the Amruteshwar Temple dating back to the Hemadpant Era - roughly from the eighth century.



Harishchandragad-The fort is quite ancient. Remnants of Microlithic man have been discovered here. The various Puranas (ancient scriptures) like Matsyapurana, Agnipurana and Skandapurana include many references about Harishchandragad. Its origin is said to have been in 6th century, during the rule of Kalchuri dynasty. The citadel was built during this era. The various caves probably have been carved out in the 11th century. In these caves are idols of Lord Vishnu. Though the cliffs are named Taramati and Rohidas, they are not related to Ayodhya. Great sage Changdev (one who created the epic “Tatvasaar”), used to meditate here in 14th century. The caves are from the same period. The various constructions on the fort and those existing the surrounding region point to the existence of diverse cultures here. The carvings on the temples of Nageshwar (in Khireshwar village), in the Harishchandreshwar temple and in the cave of Kedareshwar indicate that the fort belongs to the medieval period, since it is related to Shaiva, Shakta or Naath. Later the fort was under the control of Moguls. The Marathas captured it in 1747.
