Purandar

Location:

This famous fort (famous for Purandar treaty) is located on Narayanpur - Saswad road. Narayanpur is about 40km from Pune on Pune- Satara road.

Precaution: Though Purandar has many water cisterns (at least 25), they don't hold potable water, especially in summer. So better to take enough water from base village itself.

Sight Seeing : Purandeshwar mandir is in a good condition and has been maintained well (except for the modern coloring)

Second of the pair of Sar Darwaja. As can be seen, it's in a good condition. Sitting in the darwaja quietly in the darwaja and imagining the glory of Maratha's gives a different feeling!!

Type : Hill Fort

Height above mean sea level : ~ 4550 ft (~1387 m)

Transport
Kalyan to Pune (road/rail, ~ 150 km)- Narayanpur (road, ~ 40 km) (Vehicle like jeep can reach upto the level of Purandeshwar mandir now).
