Rajgad (Ruling Fort) is a hill fort situated in the Pune district of Maharashtra, India. Formerly known as Murumdev, the fort was the capital of the Maratha Empire under the rule of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for almost 26 years, after which the capital was moved to the Raigad Fort. Treasures discovered from an adjacent fort was used to completely build and fortify the Rajgad Fort.[citation needed] The Rajgad Fort is located around 60 km (37 mi) to the south-west of Pune and about 15 km (9.3 mi) west of Nasrapur in the Sahyadris range. The fort lies 1,400 m (4,600 ft) above the sea level. The diameter of the base of the fort was about 40 km (25 mi) which made it difficult to lay siege on it, which added to its strategic value. The fort's ruins consist of palaces, water cisterns, and caves. This fort was built on a hill called Murumbadevi Dongar (Mountain of the Goddess Murumba). Rajgad boasts of the highest number of days stayed by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on any fort

I have had travelled a lot with my friends & trek to Kalsubai was my first trek with unknown people/group.
I was afraid that it'll be difficult for me to get involve because; I always took more time to trust unknown people.
But you guys wore awesome, i didn't got to know when i was involved with all of you.
I would love to do more treks with group like this. I have found myself back after a long time. :D
Thanks Team Kayakers for changing my perception. :)

Thank you #Kayakers for a wonderful experience of Kayaking � You have a great and enthusiastic team in line. I would specially mention and thank Varsha for her outstanding efforts throughout the day and Mangesh for keeping everything organised. For me this was the best outing in Pune. And the only reason I rated 4 was the bus; which could have been better rest from Food, Refreshment, Sport Experience and Trainers you guys have nailed it in each way.

Excellent adventure group with excellent people. The best thing about this group is that all the organizers and the fellow experienced trek mates take along everyone with them. Whether you are a first time trekker or a pro. If you are here, they will make sure you complete that trek with utmost satisfaction on your face. I have done many treks with them and forward for more adventure... :)
