Christmas Day trek to Karnala Fort

Trek to the Karnala fort is an absolute beginner’s trek amidst the natural flora and fauna of the enclosed sanctuary. After a final walk up to the bastion, one is presented with a splendid 360-degree view of the surrounding Raigad district. A 125 ft high basalt pillar sticks out like a thumb at the center of the peak. It is visible from far away on all sides.
