Kille-Lohgad is one of the fort which is currently renovated and can be reached by Trek via Malvali or you can ride till its foot via Lonavla. We decided to go by Bike's via Lonavla. Our Group consists Me, Anoop, Candy, Guruy, Amit & Sumit. We started in the Morning, (Sumit,Guru) on Pulsar, (Me,Anoop) on Discover & (Candy,Amit) on Discover. If you wanna Trek to Lohgad then catch a Local from Pune Station.. get dowm at Malavali and go ahead with Trek. One can also visit Bhaje Caves which is on the way and worth a visit.
We had Breakfast in between and easily reached Lonavla within 1 and 1/2 Hr. Since we didn't know route via Lonavla, we asked the Locals for right directions. Lohagad is around 10-12 kms from Lonavla. But that route its very dangerous, roads are very steep and you cannot afford a mistake. We finally reached to Lohgad base village after 2 1/2 hrs of bike driving. We started climbing foot steps to reach at the Top. After reaching the Top we explored the fort, we went till the Buruj at the end. After having lot of photo sessions. We started descending down as we all were hungry.
View of nearby dam from top of the fort is excellent. After reaching back to base village we had snacks. Now here comes the twist of trip, Mr Guru left the key of his bike's Tank in the bike itself and someone took it... :). Now what to do, first of all we lashed out at Guru. We waited for help, one guy was going by his bike and his bike had lock in petrol tank and guess what we were able to open petrol tank of guru's bike with his keys. But waste, since he also need the key to drive his bike, we laughed @ ourselves. With no option, we somehow managed to go till Lonavla as most of the route till lonavla is slope.
Guru pledged that he will remove that lock from his bike's tank .. ha ha. After reaching Lonavla, we got a keymaker, in no time he made key. Finally we started back. It was almost 8 in the night and everyone was damn hungry after that parade. We found one good hotel and then menu came. After reading menu we looked at each other, that hotel was verrrry costly. :) we had coldrinks and started towards home again, later found one dhaba and had dinner. Reached home at arond 10:30 in the Night, it was nice one day trip.
