All About It
Vasota Fort is an ancient hill fort situated at an altitude of 1171 meters near Bamnoli in Satara district. The fort is situated in the deep forests and valleys of the Koyna Wildlife Sanctuary. The Shivsagar Lake is on three sides of the Vasota Fort, which is on the lake's edge
Vasota Fort is indeed a great starting point for a jungle trip. The view of the Sahyadri mountains, along with the surrounding forest, lakes, rivers, and waterfalls, is just stunning. Nowadays, this region is a popular destination for treks and expeditions. This fort is considered difficult because the only way to reach the top is through the jungle. In addition to the natural beauty that surrounds the fort, the adventure of getting there is half the delight for visitors. Any visitor would be captivated by the natural splendour and charm of the area, and the local beauty would win them over.
History:
Tai Telin defended the fort during Killedar Pant Pratinidhi's capture.
According to mythology, Bhoja II (1178β1193) built Fort Vasota. Vasota backed the Marathas, Mores, and Shrikes in the 16th century.
Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj incorporated Javli Fort into Swarajya in 1655. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj termed this fort "Vyaghragad" because of its inherent defences (Vyaghra-meaning tiger).
In 1818, the British attacked Vasota. They committed destruction and stealing (approximately 5 lakh worth of valuables were stolen) and demolished Chandika mandir, Daru-kothar, and others.

Did Kalsubai Trek with the TNT team(Sunny/Sagar and Neha)
Met them on the Kasara Train and the moment we all gathered I had a Vibe this treks gonna be Awesome,
Utkarsh Kumbhare
The trek leaders have good experience and are very helpful during trek with all the necessary details that one need to know.
I would suggest to carry minimum luggage as possible as the trek is demanding with high endurance so keeping the luggage at minimum only essentials like water, energy bars and drinks, will help you once the 75% bar of the trek is doneπ
....also would be nice if you practice cardio beforehand atleast 15-20 days if you don't go to gym, it will really aid you.
Overall a very good experience with treks and trails.
