Hello
Friends, We at Trek Mates India are glad to invite you
for a One Day Monsoon Trek to Visapur
Fort & Visit to Bhaje Caves on 14th June, Sunday 2014
Some info about Visapur:
Type: Hill Fort
Height: 3556 Feet above MSL (Approx)
Grade: Easy
Endurance : Medium
Base Village: Malavali
Visapur Fort is larger and at a higher elevation than its twin fort- Lohagad. Within the fort are caves, cisterns of water, a decorated arch and old houses. These two roofless buildings surrounded by outer or veranda walls said to have once been Government offices. The ruins of a large stone-built house are known as the Peshwa's palace. In addition to a huge carving of Hanuman, there are also several temple dedicated to him scattered all over the place. Hanuman (or Maruti) was likely the patron deity of Visapur fort.

There is a well which local legend says was built by the Pandavas. In 1885,
near the north wall there was an iron gun ten feet long and of four-inch bore,
marked with the Tudor Rose and Crown, flanked by the letters E. R. This is
probably a gun of Queen Elizabeth's reign probably taken as bounty from an
English ship and presented to the Peshwa by Kanhoji Angre or some other
commander of the Maratha navy. Like other guns on the fort it has been disabled
by breaking off its trunnions. Close to it are the remains of an old Mahadev
shrine.
