When we were in Lonawala we visited this place. One can reach the base of the fort and then take steps to reach the top. It takes about 30 mins to climb and one can spend about another 30 mins at the top. There is an entry ticket of Rs.25/- and a few eateries shop at the gate. Surprising the toilets are missing in the periphery and is a real challenge for the tourists. The steps are well maintained and the climb is easier compared to other forts where the path is raw and trekking is involved. On the top, there is a pond and a temple as well as Samadhi. The best part of the climb is i- it provides splendid views of the area - especially the Pawna lake and the surrounding fields. There are unused cannon on the path.

It is an achievement for us at old age. (81,74) At the bottom many said we won’t be able to do it ,but we took the challenge and enjoyed every moment of it. The day was day before great Sivaji’s birthday. There were many going up with saffron flags.but all were disciplined and not noisy, Many steps ,some were very steep ,which made it interesting. On the top it was flat. The fort changed hands many times ,therefore both temples and Muslim Prayer place on the top. There was also a small reservoir with cold refreshing water. On the top in the temple the people lit a flame ,my wife had the honour to ignite the fire ,we all shouted ,Jai Sivaji . They said all night they would March with this fire lit on poles. It was a great day for us and many. When came down there was cool lassi to quench our thirst.

We hired a driver in Pune and we saw three places together: first bhaja caves, second lohagad fort and lastly Birla Ganesh Temple. Definitely worth to visit! The Bhaja cave is truly impressive, you go uphill for about 15-20 minutes and that's it. At the Lohagad fort we saw monkeys and we had a great view. (there were lots of people)
Keep in mind that It's important to have a bottle of water with you (There are shops at the beginning of the road).

We four family members out of that three are ladies and we all are senior citizens, trekked the fort it is around 3400 ft.hight..we stepped the steps and reached to the top of the fort, we seen small pond, lake before we reached top, I think near Ganesh gate. The water was cool and clean. At the top ,there is Shiv temple, Bhavani mataji temple, Lake, and 360 degree view of the mountains nearby and also seen pawana \Bhusi dem...from the top of the fort. The steps on the top are very slippery so one has to be very careful, you must have time atleast 3-4 hours to spend there to see the nature beauty.If the government starts maintaining various steps and wall which are already damaged then many tourists can enjoy very well. Also, there is no First Aid treatment there or nearby so many tourists if they injured due to slippery steps,they fell down there is no medical aid is available there , which is required must.Otherwise it is very nice place to enjoy for trekking and nature beauty.

Absolutely amazing place. The view is amazing. You just feel so connected with nature. The trek is relatively easy and yet exciting also. Highly recommend visiting this place, especially in the monsoons, but be careful of
Slipping! The path gets very slippery due to mud, yet it makes for a fun and memorable experience!

A must watch place with kids. Good trek with family. A lot of scenic view and cool breeze till the main door of the Fort. After that steps are not in good condition. Amazing view of Pawana Dam and all other area. A worth trip.
Be careful if you driving from Karla to Bhaja cave to Lohgad .
Its Steep Zigzag road hence all the new driver please do not attempt to drive unless you have skilled driver right next to you. Its only one car drive hence try to go via alternate route (Dudhiware khind)
Comparatively road from Dudhiware khind road to Lohad and back to Lonavala or Pune is comparative good and has less steep zigzag uphill curves. Its comparatively two vehicle passing road. And only problem is that road condition not good

This is an excellent place for whatever reason you visit. The journey to the top was an exciting ride, with green growth and highly scenic sceneries all around to add atmosphere. The weather, Full of sunshine, made the climb memorable for its cool, fresh air.
There was a lot to see, from the vast gate leading to ancient stone walls. We walked through the area and discovered hidden caves.
All in all, this place should not be missed if anyone is looking for an intersection between nature and history. The climbing is not too difficult, and you get to see some fantastic scenery along the way. Whether you are an adventurer or historian, this place has things it can dish up just for you.

I loved this place , it’s better start early morning or you will get sun burned like me. Wear trekking shoes or ull have injuries. It has lot more to offer as walk n trekking when you reach up, so start from stairs only as I stated from low as I wanted to trekking didn’t know it has so much more on top. It’s worth it as it has a great view from top

Great, albeit a bit challenging hike. Views along the hike and at the top are amazing. Place was undergoing restoration, so a bit of a mess to walk around, but nothing too crazy. A true gem of Marathas!

Try to reach in the morning to start your trek and to be back after enjoying sunset. It is good one day trek surrounded by beautiful view and natural beauty. On the top you find Temple and awesome views. Good for photography lovers. You can enjoy the 360 degree views of surrounding places. Be careful while trekking as the steps near the top are very slippery specially during the rainy season. Spend some time at the top and enjoy. No facility is available at this place so be careful of any fall .

Is it possible to complete both Visapur and Lohagad fort in single day??
Written 7 July 2019
Yes. Probably if you start early and take your vehicle as much higher as it is possible ( considering the traffic and weather) , then you can spend time on both the forts.
But again it will depend upon how much time you take to trek. You can complete the Lohgad by 1pm and then visit visapur.
