Itinerary description
HISTORY:
The fort was known for keeping a watch on the adjacent coast, to keep their territory protected and secured. Kohoj Fort is around 800 years old and was a part of the Purandar treaty. As a part of this treaty, Shivaji Maharaja surrendered 22 other forts to the Mughals.
HOW TO REACH:
Board Churchgate-Dahanu Road local on Western line and get down at Palghar station.
Go to the Palghar bus stop and get into a bus going towards Wada (First bus starts at 07:20 AM) (Frequency 30mins) and alight at Vaghote village.
ABOUT THE TREK:
Kohoj Fort’s height from the sea level is about 3200 feet. The Kohoj Fort Trek is a Medium grade trek. At the base village, there is a beautiful lake which reflects the image of the fort. On the flat surface of the fort, there is a holy temple of Lord Shankar along with three groups of water cisterns. Further on the top of this hill, we come across a temple of Lord Hanuman. There are some pinnacles which are naturally formed due to the wind-erosion and two of them are shaped like humans.
It took us almost 3 hours (due to injury of one of group member) to reach the top and 1hour 30minutes to descend. But the trek can be completed in 3 hours 30 mins total.
