As we cross the Malshej ghat while coming from Kalyan – Murbad we come across a mountain range which is the Balaghat hill range. This range falls behind Harishchandragad and has many forts like Kalad, Kunjar, Bhairavgad etc. The word “Kunjar” means an Elephant in Sanskrit language and the fort derives its name from it. From the base village of Vihir this fort resembles like a giant elephant. #Kombadgad is the other name for this fort. This region experiences heavy rainfall between June to September and thus it is strongly recommended to avoid this fort visit during such time. The skies here remain devoid of sunshine for many days owing to dense cloudy weather. There are many waterfalls in the region. • While approaching the fort via the route between the fort and the adjoining hill, we come across a path to our left on nearly 3/4th height of the fort. This route circumvents the fort where we can find two idols in dense trees. It is being said that the villagers tried to relocate these idols to the base village temple but are unsuccessful till date. • After this, the fort can be reached either by proceeding ahead by the edge and further passing through dense shrubs or moving back from here and approaching via the cleft route. The first route circumvents the hill and takes us to the opposite side of Vihir village. The route coming from Fofsandi village joins here. On the last patch of the ascend there are rock cut steps. Half way on these steps there is a cave. This cave is being carved across the mountain wall which enable to keep a vigil on both Vihir as well as Fofsandi villages. There are remnants of structures near the cave and two dried up water tanks to the right and three dried up water tanks to the left. Further we can see remains of a mansion and a series of water tanks carved in rock. • While heading back after visiting the entire fort, proceed to the hill which is to the right side of the fort. there are three caves here. Descend this hill to reach Vihir village. • ____________ • Want to SUPPORT me? • • You can now send me SUPER THANKS! • • Join this channel to get access to perks, become a member • / @niharshrotri • ____________ • My social's, • Instagram: / niharshrotri • Facebook: / nihar.shrotri • ____________ • Equipment Services I use, • • GoPro Hero 8: https://amzn.to/30J5ntw • • GoPro Wrist mount: https://amzn.to/3ucJwam • • 12-in-1 mount kit: https://amzn.to/3vsDi6T • • Vlogging pole: https://amzn.to/30J6PMJ • • Best camping/trekking compact stove: https://amzn.to/3ii3Int • • Cheapest tent for Sahyadri's: https://amzn.to/3kWFcu1 • #Kunjargad #Kombadgad #TrekkarNihar
