Dear
Mates,
We
at Trek Mates India invite you to a one
day trek to the Kohoj in Palghar region on Monday, 25th August 2012.
The route of this trek is 70% shadowed with dense
forest, a big lake at the base and few water sources on the way and many water
tanks on the top makes it a pleasant trek.
Some
info about the Trek:
Height: ~ 3200 feet
Grade: Medium
Time: ~Max 2.5 hrs from Waghote, Base village.
Location: Palghar region
Grade: Medium
Time: ~Max 2.5 hrs from Waghote, Base village.
Location: Palghar region
Sightseeing:
Heart-Shaped Lake, Bastions, Cisterns, Temples and
above all Man-Shaped Pinnacle
This fort has not got very historical importance but
looking at the well-dug cisterns, the fort can be said to be belonging to
Bhoj-period. But no such evidences are available. What is known about this fort
is that Kohoj was under Portuguese colonies in 16th century. They fortified it
and later Peshwas conquered this fort in 1737.
The moderate hike to the top is a fresh experience.
The 2.5 to 3 hours one way hike to Kohoj fort has all ingredients for a
pleasant small eco-adventure landscapes reflecting in small lakes, hills, plateaus,
misty atmosphere, flora and fauna (wild and domestic), the two very peculiarly
shaped pinnacles are the guiding lighthouse to the fort of Kohoj. The view from
the top is mind blowing.
