| Introduction |
Those who are interested in visiting new places every time, this is a right trek. Santoshgad and Varugad are very less visited forts. Even ignored by local people but worth visiting by trekkers.
These forts are situated in the rainshadow region of Satara district, so the monsoon is the perfect season to visit these forts. The forts are not very high so counted in easy forts. When you are on this fort, you can see grasslands and scrub of phaltan region around you. |
