This year, a team of L&T Infoknightes planned to celebrate monsoon at Korigad Fort. The adventure began on Saturday morning at 8.00 am, from Pune - Shivajinagar station where we had to board a local train to Lonavala. The short journey to Lonavala was even more enjoyable as all started an enthusiastic and cheerful round of singing. At around 9.30am we landed at Lonavala. The climate was amazing. It was slightly raining.
We hired a jeep to reach the base Village ‘Shahpur’ which is located near famous Amby Valley.

The fort was entirely covered by fog. Waterfalls were flowing all over. The road was very slippery and through dense forest. The trek was happening quite adventurous. As we were climbing up and up it was amazing to see the panoramic view around the fort.
The team of L&T Infoknightes was approaching their final destination of 
reaching Korigad Fort top. We were exploring the magic of monsoon. The ride was amazing in the rains with hilltops covered under palls of misty clouds. Ganesh temple and caves are situated half way. Finally at 11.30 am we reached at the top.

Finally at 11.30 am we reached at the top. One can have a wonderful view of Sahara Amby Valley and Tung fort is a pleasant sight to watch. Temple of Koraidevi is situated at the top.
The main characteristic of this fort is the strong fortification built on a large plateau, to make it one of the strongest forts. Atmosphere was windy.
We enjoyed snacks, which we carried along with us. Suddenly heavy rain started. But it was a great fun, which we were enjoying at 3500 ft atop.
