Adventure Forever invites you for a thrilling night trek to Kohoj Fort. Kohoj is a medieval military fortification located near #Palghar in Maharashtra. The fort is said to be about 800 years old and finds a mention in the Purandar treaty along with 22 other forts which were surrendered by Shivaji to the Mughals on 11 June 1665.
Get ready to delight in the stunning natural beauty of this slice of paradise on earth! At the base of the fort is a lake which gives you a beautiful reflection of the fort. The three hours hike to #KohojFort has all ingredients for a pleasant small eco adventure landscape reflecting in small lake, hills, plateaus, misty atmosphere, greenery, jungle, flora and fauna. The atmosphere and view from the top is mind blowing.
The route of this trek is 70% shadowed with dense forest. Two natural pinnacles formed due to wind erosion resemblance human figure. Explore the fort and capture memories before you start descending.
