Bhairavgad fort, located near Malshej Ghat in the Western Sahyadri ranges of Maharashtra, India, is an adventure destination that attracts seasoned trekkers. This trek, known as Moroshicha Bhairavgad, offers a thrilling challenge with its narrow rock-cut steps and exposed trails.
The fort, strategically positioned to oversee the Kalyan-Junnar and Naneghat-Jivdhan trade routes, features a unique geological formation called a dyke, which is a layer of rock formed within another rock body
As trekkers navigate the path, they will encounter thin jungles and ridges leading to a plateau where they can visit the Bhairavnath temple. The trek is particularly vibrant in October, with blooming Karvi plants adding color to the landscape
Reaching the summit rewards hikers with stunning views of the Sahyadris, including Naneghat, Jivdhan, Rohida, Harishchandragad, and Ajoba. The descent can be challenging and is often aided by rappelling to ensure safety. This trek promises an unforgettable experience for those seeking adventure amidst the beauty of western ghats in Maharashtra.
