Some Information about the Fort:

Base Village: Dehri
District: Thane

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.
