The Youth Hikers trek to “GORAKHGAD (Till Top)”, Thursday 25h Dec., 2014 (Starting on 24th Dec. Night)
Trek Details:
Region: Murbad.
Height: 2150 ft (aprx.)
Base Village: Dehri
District: Thane
Grade: Medium (Rock patches)
Endurance Level: Medium
Duration: 1 Day
Date: Thursday 25h Dec., 2014 (Starting on 24th Dec. Night)
History: Gorakhgad is a fort that can be done easily in a day from Mumbai. Though not famous for any historical events, Gorakhgad attracts trekkers due to its inviting pinnacles, which offer good opportunities for rock-climbing. This region of Gorakhgad and Machhindragad has a dense forest cover. It was had strategic importance during the reign of Shahaji Raje. However, no major battle is recorded to have taken place here. It was used in Shivaji’s era to patrol the nearby region and was used as a stopover station during the journey to Junnar via Naneghat. Though small in size, there is enough availability water and a lot of space for accommodation. The fort gets its name from Saint Gorakhnath, who performed his “Sadhana” in this place.
The itinerary for the Trek is as given below:
