Songiri Fort |
Today is extremely good day on behalf of me b ecause all of my trekking friends are going for trekking to Songiri Fort. Trekking is my life and that I can't live without trekking. Trekking is my passion. Trekking Mera Junoon. I'm very excited to travel to Songiri Fort for trekking.. We all trekking friends met at Karjat railway station for trekking to Songiri Fort. There was team of 06 people for Songiri Fort Trek. First we've taken breakfast at Karjat Station. Then suddenly rain was started. We've eaten Vadapav and having tea. Vadapav and tea are Mumbaikar's favourite food. Then We've caught Khopoli train and obtain down at Palasdari station.Then we started our journey towards Songiri fort. By the track route we reached to the bottom of mountain and began our upwards journey towards Songiri Fort. In route there was very dense forest. We've seen beautiful views while processing towards Songiri Fort peak. The Songiri Fort climb is straight forward but finding the proper way is extremely difficult. There was lot of cold breeze on the way. We've seen 2 Snakes within the route. Finally we reached at the peak of Songiri fort at 12pm. Songiri Fort has remains of Songiri Fort wall at the highest of Songiri Fort. At the highest of Songiri Fort you'll get scenic view of Borghat.

You have to carry your own food while going for trekking to Songiri Fort. There are no hotels or restaurants because this place is not so developed commercially. You can get some hotels at Karjat.
We have explored the Songiri fort.There are not much fort structure at the top of Songiri Fort. After exploring Songiri fort we finished our lunch. We have taken parcel from Karjat market. After finishing lunch we relaxed for 1 hour. Then we started descending which will be taking us towards Palasdari railway station. Descending is quite risky. We have lost the way when descending. After 1 hour we have found the right way to descend from the fort. It is advised to start your trek early in the morning. Even If you lost the way you will be having enough time to find the right way. If you hire some guide from palasdari village it will be best so there will be no chances of losting the right way.
