Singahad.......Good for trekking

We went Singahad on Aug 20,2011. It took around 45 mins to reach there from Pune on bike. In the way there were many good views that include hills covered with green plants and beautiful Kharagwasla lake.

Sinhagad(House of Lion-when translated) Fort is situated on the top of the steep hill. From the foothill there are two ways to reach there. One is by road and other is by trek over the rough, narrow, steep hill. We went doing trekking and it took around 3 hours to reach there and 2 hours to come back.  We enjoyed many good views during trek.

When we reached at the fort we had a of lot  fun there. Though much of it is ruined these days but still it is a good picnic spot. It's spread in a big area. There were many beautiful locations for taking pics also.

Food available there was pitla-bhakri(the staple food) and kandha bhajji(onion pakora) which was simple but fabulous to taste.Other things available were curd lassi, raw mango, boiled peanuts etc.

Do not forget to take sunscreen, water bottles along with you if you like to trek to get rid of sun rays and heat. Also one should choose easy clothing and carry minimal goods for trek. Prefer to go early in the morning before the sun rises.
