Sinha Gadh (Lion's Fort) - Pune

 A Fort with a long history is not far away from Pune and a very popular hikers destination. Its more than 4000ft high from the sea level and the view from top is fabulous. 

Motorable single track road leads right up to the base of the Gadh (Fort), and the climb up from there is easy. Two gates, Kalyan Darwaja and Pune Darwaja are facing in the direction of these cities.

Kalyan Darwaja
 No monkeys on the top, but there were some on the was up.
One can get a clear view of Khadwasla Dam and Panshet Dam

 Unlike most other forts, this one is taken care of by the Govt. A metal railing is erected all around for safety, and a small pathway goes all the way around.


There are number of water tanks on the Fort. 
The view all around is breathtaking
