The Kenjalgad to Raireshwar trek is a beautiful and refreshing route in the Sahyadri hills of Maharashtra. This trek takes you from the lesser-known but scenic Kenjalgad Fort to the historically important Raireshwar Plateau. Kenjalgad Fort, also known as Ghera Khelanja, was built during the rule of the Bhoj Rajas in the 12th century and later came under Adilshahi control. It was later captured by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1674. The fort is small but offers stunning views of the valleys around.
Devkund Waterfall, tucked away near Bhira village in Raigad district, is one of Maharashtra’s most beautiful and less-explored spots. Known as the source of the Kundalika River, this waterfall drops straight into a deep, natural pool surrounded by thick forest and rocky cliffs. The trek to Devkund is about 6–7 km one way and starts from the base village, taking you through dense jungle paths, small streams, and the calm backwaters of Bhira Dam. Most of the route is easy and flat, but the last stretch involves a short, steep climb that can get slippery, especially in the rains.
Panhala Fort stands as a testament to its strategic importance and the engineering ingenuity of the time, enduring centuries of conflict and harsh conditions.
