A month back I went to visit Sinhagad Fort for the first time since I have arrived in Pune. On the route I also stopped at Khadakwasla Dam for a while. The whole route was very scenic and also the fort was worth visiting.
Route: I took the route shown here while starting at around 8:15 AM. It took us around one and a half hour to reach Sinhagad Fort and we arrived at 9:40 AM. On most weekends there is heavy rush and you don't get parking at Sinhagad Fort and has to park very far from fort but on 16 July when I visited, there was less rush since there was landslide in previous week and people got stuck for 3-4 hours on the fort itself. There was heavy fog at the hill so the surroundings were not at all visible but we did try to cover the whole fort.
Food: The fort has many eateries and most of them offer the same items which is as below:
All the items were quite good. While climbing down we stopped at some points to have view of greenery and water reservoirs and also stopped at Khadakwasla. The dam was completely filled with heavy rains in the catchment area of the river.

We came back at around 2 PM. All in all, it was worth visiting the fort once.
