Rajmachi

Rajmachi is a historic fort complex comprising two twin forts—Shrivardhan and Manaranjan—situated near Lonavala. Surrounded by dense forests, valleys, and seasonal waterfalls, it is a popular destination for trekking enthusiasts and nature lovers. The trek to Rajmachi is relatively easy, making it suitable for beginners as well as experienced trekkers. During the monsoon season, the region transforms into a lush green paradise with mist-covered trails and flowing streams. Apart from trekking, visitors can explore ancient fortifications, caves, and temples that reflect the rich Maratha history.

The peaceful village at the base adds a rustic charm, making it an ideal escape from city life.
