Kaldurg fort - A lesser known but beautiful jungle trek
It had been almost a couple of months since I had joined Dr Ajay's Wanderlust adventures TTMM trek. I had missed trek to Ajoba gad last week as I didn't wake up in morning. It was one waste Sunday for me. So when I got the invite for Kaldurg fort trek, I was all prepared one day before and was awake 5.30am even though it was decided to catch Dahanu local from Borivali at 7.57am. Kaldurg fort : Its one of those not so famous treks which can be done in one day. It lies on Palghar - Manor road. The starting point of the trek starts from famous "Waghoba temple" on Manor road. It comes under easy category and it takes only around 1hr 30min to go up and around 1hr to come down. Kaldurg is around 1547 feet above sea level. The fort doesn't have any fortification but there are two water cisterns to collect water at the top. Not much is known about its history but 360deg view of surrounding region one gets from the top surely points to strategic importance of this fort. .
