The area around Pune transforms itself during the monsoons. The Rain Gods have not showered their blessings this year, and this is the exact reason that it compelled me to go back and refresh my memories of the short sudden unplanned trip to the fort (which is almost a second home to Puneities). Uploading some of the snaps of the walk. Excellent place to be at any time of year. Basic simple maharashtrian food is a treat here (now it has commercialized a bit). Pithla-Bharki and Kanda-Bhaaji is THE menu here. And a curd is heavenly, a MUST HAVE ITEM.

Extremely close proximity of the Kondhana fort (Sinhgad) is the USP...
