Sinhagad

About an hours drive southwest of Pune is an old fort atop a hill about 800 meters above the surrounding countryside called Sinhagad, which translates to Lion’s Den. Its history dates back to 1350 A.D. and is a site of an important battle. Getting there required driving up a narrow two lane road next to very steep slopes. The views from Sinhagad are quite amazing with green hills all around and views of the countryside below.
