foothill of Fort Shivneri.(Distance approx 100 km)

Small
Vehicles goes to the midway of the fort. The paved parking place

should be parked at the base only to avoid traffic jam in the Shivneri
ghat.
Food and Stay : There are many hotels and restaurants situated in the Junnar City for individuals or groups.
About Trek :
Most of the people goes by vehicle. Few trekkers prefer to trek it.
The
trek start from behind the college building and way to Shivneri fort
from east side. On the Google map it is labelled as chain road. The
whole trek will take 1 and half hrs to ascend. Last phases are risky
where chains are fixed. The chains are quite old so risky to trust on
its strength. The chains are broken and remained few pieces.
If you go by vehicle, then go to the parking point then follow the paved steps going to the fort.

inspiration to visit Shivneri fort is to see the birthplace of Shivaji
Maharaj. The place is well maintained. It is situated at the end of the
fort from entrance side. The Mahal is neatly maintained. The place has
inevitable importance in the history of Maharashtra.
