Event Tag: Trikon #3081

Event Name: One Day Trek to Sondai Fort 

Grade: Easy 

Approximate Duration: 1.5 hours of ascend

Sondai fort is a hidden beauty of Karjat. It is not a popular destination but it will blow your mind for sure! This Fort is a part of the Matheran range. This is one of the best treks to visit during monsoons near Mumbai. From Sonewadi base village it takes 15-20 mins to reach the plateau. 2 adjoined cisterns reserve water. We can have a view of Gavari hill from here. After climbing the carved stairs one can see dried cistern also on the right side a ladder is available to ascend. As the place is believed to be sacred due to the Sondai temple one must take off their shoes and continue their trek. After climbing the rock patch one can see 2 cisterns in which one huge pillar stands tall. The top view gives a splendid view of the Matheran Mountain range. Green landscapes and even foggy pinnacle during the monsoon!

Highlights

• 3-4 Cisterns which hold water.
• Sondai Devi Statue and 2-3 carved idols which are kept under a tree.
• Beautiful and enormous Matheran Mountain Range which is heaven to witness during monsoons!
• Morbe Dam which gives an amazing view during monsoons.
• The breathtaking view of Vavarle Dam holding the monsoon rain water.
