Situated at an altitude of 3,000 feet above the sea level, Tringalwadi Fort at Igatpuri is an architectural marvel.

Being in an elevated position, this massive fortress houses the picturesque scenery of the whole locality, especially the view of the peaks from this fort is incomparable.

DurgMitra,Dombivali Trek To Irshalgad On Sunday 30th June 2013

Hi Nature lovers ,

Rain has already started and there will be green coat soon.

"DURGMITRA" has organised a Monsoon Trek to "Irshalgad" on 30th June, 2013 Sunday.

 

About Irshalgad:
Fort: Irshalgad
Height: 3700 feet
Range: Sahyadri
District: Raigad
Level: Medium

Irshaalgad is a fort situated in the Karjat Region. Other forts in this region include Prabalgad and Malanggad. Actually Irshal is not a fort but it’s a pinnacle. This is the reason why it hardly figures anywhere in history. Shivaji Maharaj captured the complete region of Kalyan and Bhiwandi, up to Rairi in May 1666. This fort too, must have come under the Maratha rule at that time. Irshal is the next-door neighbour to Prabalgad. As mentioned above, Irshal is a pinnacle. There is a water tank on the route from the Irshal plateau to the peak. From there, we reach the needle hole near the top through a simple rock-climbing route. Proceeding little ahead, we see a water tank to the left and a cave to the right. This water is suitable for drinking. The route, which climbs up from near the needle hole goes to the top of the pinnacle. To reach the top of the pinnacle, it is essential to have artificial rock climbing equipment. From the top we can see the forts of Prabalgad, Matheran, Chanderi, Malanggad, Karnala and Manikgad.
