All About It

Brahmagiri Fort is located in Nashik District near Trimbakeshwar Temple. Godavari River originates on this hill and flows through these ranges. Brahmagiri literally means the hill of Lord Brahma. According to the mythology, sage Gautama and his wife Ahalya resided on this hill. Bhandardurg: In the year 1752 the warrior from Peshwa's Camp. Trimbak Suryaji Prabhu took over the fort and established the Peshwa's regime there. It was in the year 1818 that British forces led by Mc Dowell wrested the fort and gained upper hand in the region as the forces won a set of 16 other forts in the vicinity.

I was looking forwarded to do K2S since long and finally it could happen with Pune travel club. I must say, it was one awesome experience which would not have been great without the support of Vamsy and other co-travellers on the Trek.

Thank you Pune travel club and Vamsy for such an awesome experience. I look forward to have some more adventure with you. ��

PTC is the reason I have become passionate about traveling, I have done 3 trips with them in one month. I am not going to stop traveling with them. Treks are so well organized and the trek leads are so helpful and understanding. Traveling with PTC is now no more about choice, it's a habit now.
Thank you PTC!!
