Gorakhgad is a fort that can
be done easily in a day, both from Mumbai and Pune. 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 Machchindragad
has a dense forest cover.
Fort
Gorakhgad is
quite small in size. It was having 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.
