Experience of Torna

13th October 2006.

Dear Adventure & Nature lovers,

I had visited Torna fort with "Shri Siddheshwar Trekking Club" on 8th October 2006.

Why was Torna Fort selected for trekking?
Torna is one of the highest forts in Maharashtra. Torna is also called as 'Prachandagad' because it is a wide spread fort. Because it had a lot of 'Toran trees' on it, people started calling it Torna. It is one of the toughest forts to climb and tests each trekker. When Shivaji conquered this fort he found 22 pots full of gold coins in it, this wealth he used in building Rajgad fort on the 'Muramba Devi' mountain
