About Monsoon Trek to Sondai Fort
One of the best things to do during the monsoon season in Maharashtra is to go on a trek. Sondai is such a famous fort near Karjat Chowk Phata. Sondai Fort, located in the Sahyadri mountain range, is a great option for those looking for an adventurous and challenging trek. Sondai Monsoon Trek is nine kilometres from the kajart railway station. It offers a beautiful view of Morbe Dam, Prabalgad, Irshalgad, Rajmachi, Songiri forts, Karnala Fort, and the Matheran mountain range. Sondai Fort Karjat was used as a watchtower to protect the trade routes. Sondewadi and Wavarle are the base villages of the Sondai fort. Sondewadi village is situated at 1/4th height of this Fort.
The fort is situated at an altitude of 2,200 meters and offers stunning views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. The trek to Sondai Fort is not for the faint-hearted, as it involves climbing cliffs and hiking through thick forests. There are two water cisterns on, and steps are carved out of rocks to go to the topmost point where an idol of Sondai Devi stands. Two more water cisterns are on the way and have potable water. Waverley is another village from where a bit difficult approach to the fort passes through the dense forest.
Sondai Monsoon trek, an iron ladder, has been installed. It has made the climb to the summit to seek the blessing of the Sondai Devi temple safer for all the hikers and devotees. However, the effort is worth it as you will be rewarded with some of the most breathtaking views of your life.
