Kohoj Fort From Thane

 

Kohoj Hill Fort is a wonderful hill fort destination near to Thane City. Located 105 km away from Mumbai, the base village to this trekking destination is Vagothe. There are buses from Thane to Wada, from where one can catch buses to Vagothe. The trek to Kohol Hill Fort is comparatively easy and may take about three hours to reach to the plateau. From there, it is a half an hour trekking to reach to the highest point of the fort. The fort region is ideal for bonfires and camping. There are also a couple of portable water cisterns here so one can plan for camp cooking and cleaning here. The plateau is a very windy area and gets too cold at night, so campers need to keep warm clothes handy. The best time to visit this place is during winter seasons. The way back down is so easy to cover and will take hardly who hours. There is also a big lake at the base point of the fort in which the trekkers can take a dip and relax.
