About Lohagad Fort
Lohagad Fort is a historic hill fort located near Lonavala in Pune District, Maharashtra. Situated in the Sahyadri ranges, the fort is surrounded by scenic valleys, hills and the beautiful landscape of the Western Ghats.
The fort has a long history and has been under the control of several rulers. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj captured Lohagad in 1648, and the fort later became an important part of the Maratha military network. Its strong fortifications and strategic location made it an important position for controlling the surrounding region.
The trek to Lohagad Fort takes participants through forest trails, stone steps, fortification walls, gateways and historic structures. The famous Vinchu Kata, a long fortified spur extending from the main fort, offers an opportunity to observe the strategic design and geographical significance of the fort.
The trek provides participants with an opportunity to explore the history, architecture and natural surroundings of Lohagad while developing confidence, endurance, teamwork and essential outdoor skills.

Learning Content
Evolution & Geography of the Sahyadri
This session introduces participants to the evolution and geographical features of the Sahyadri mountain ranges, helping them understand how the landscape around them was formed over millions of years. Students will learn about the origin and formation of the Western Ghats, their major geographical features, elevation, valleys, plateaus, escarpments, and the role of weathering and erosion in shaping the present-day terrain.
The session will also introduce participants to the different rock types found in the Sahyadris, with a focus on basalt and its volcanic origin.
