A perfect destination for a one-day trek, Bhupatgad fort is replete with scenic surroundings. This place has historic significance, as it was included in Swarajya by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Bhupatgad was used as a watchtower then. The ruins atop the fort indicate the presence of a palace. As you enter the fort, you will see a Mahsoba’s statue and a statue of Hanuman. There’s also a small lake at the centre and a water tank. It was after the death of Shivaji Maharaj that Mughals conquered this fort, in 1688 A.D.
Anyone can take a trek to this fort as it is an easy trek and takes just ½ an hour from the foothills to reach above. However, the glimpses of the surrounding that you get to see from the fort are enticing. Besides the mere experience of visiting a yet another fort of historical significance will certainly fill your heart with joy and pride.
