Surreal, very calming environment. We went in the morning and reached around 9 am. The surroundings were very good. We were amazed by the beauty of nature.
Due to clouds it was difficult to see some things. Also you have to be careful while walking as things are not clearly visible due to clouds.
Recommend to read history before visiting the fort, so you can feel the importance of the place when you are walking there.
I don't recommend visiting on Sunday because there will be huge traffic jams as most of the people park their vehicles on the road side. Even when we visited on Saturday, when we left around 2 in the afternoon we were stuck around 1 hr.
Another suggestion is you can trek route, I did not go that route, so not sure about the difficulty. Next time definitely I am definitely going to trek to Sinhagad Fort.

Awesome place.

Must visit this place in monsoon.
Best time to visit this fort is in morning time.
If you reach early you will get proper parking place and less crowd.

If you visit this place after 1PM then there are chances that there will be huge crowd and you might get stuck in traffic and finding a proper parking.

The hill is stiff so if you driving a car or bike you should be careful and drive safely.

Visited just two weeks back. And I am so happy that I witnessed the beauty of Sinhagad during monsoons. It’s indeed very visible in the pictures. You can check it out.
Since it is a bit far from the main city and you might find traffics on the way, I would suggest you to visit early in the day instead of going in the evening. If you are visiting in evening after 3 PM you might not be able to explore everything. Since the place covers good geographical area. Even if you are visiting in morning, you can spend the whole day there as it has good places to sit and relax. Food is easily available there. Also, you can visit with family for a weekend picnic . 😇 Regarding vehicle and parking, I would suggest not to park on the way up on roadsides, as it causes more traffic. Go till the end you can find plenty of space for parking on the top.

If you plan to visit sinhagad. There are few things you need to keep in mind.

First and most important visit the place early in the morning. Plan in such a way that you reach there by 6am. The more delayed it gets the more rushed the place gets like really overly crowded.

Hence plan early and you are going to enjoy the mesmerizing view.

Second important thing is if you are going there during rainy season. Ensure you wear good footwear with good grip, sports shoes is what I would suggest. There are many accidents reported wherein people slip from stairs and get injured badly. Take precautions and be safe.

Other than this i don't think there is anything more to tell.

Have a great journey. Cheers 🥂

One of the must visit place in monsoon.
Best month to visit October.
The fort has two routes concrete route and trekking route.
If you want to go by trekking route you should prefer morning time.
The trek is quite easy and it will take around 1 2 hours to climb.
Food is easily available on fort.
Avoid visiting on Sunday because fort is fully crowded with trekkers and tourists.

Hi everyone,
The fort is just as ancient as it is. And the place is wide open and has great views. You can spend an amazing time over here. Can't be explored within a day, as you'll come here and walk along and sit in a spot for the peace of the destination.
For this you must visit as early as possible in the morning because it's really crowded mostly on weekends. So do reach here by 6 am if possible and have a glance at the wonderful sunrise.
Thus you can walk over the place, take pictures and keep it on as you wish.
The best part is that it is really open and the everlasting view of it is just mesmerizing.
Do go out with your friends and families. Do eat bhaje there and the rest of the items as per your needs.
Must visit.
Can be visited multiple times a year.
Good luck!
