A trek to Rohida Fort
Place: Bhor
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao Tzu
“Rohida Fort, also known as Rohideswer Fort, is built 3,625 feet above sea level. To explore this adventurous fort the students of T3 club went for their second trek on Saturday, 22 nd June 2024. The students and teachers started their journey at 6:15 am in the morning to enjoy the meadows and small bushes. The students had stalled for a while, enjoying the scenery along with the refreshments that student brought. With great excitement we all started climbing the fort. Being monsoon, on the left side of the ridge, we could see waterfalls that flew upward, due to the fierce wind! Though the climb was fairly easy but at times it got difficult due to the stormy wind. It took about an hour to climb from the plateau to reach the first gate of the fort. After 15-20 stone steps we all reached the second gate. There was a small underground cistern right in front of the gate. After reaching the third gate we saw there were several bastions on the fort like Shirvale bastion to the South East, Patane and Damgude bastions to the South, Waghjai bastion to the North, Fatteh bastion at the courtyard. The students and teachers got a breath – taking views of farms and dams from the bastions. We could also see other forts from Rohida like Fort Purandar, Rajgad and Torna.
At once, when we finished exploring the fort, students and teachers had their lunch. They enjoyed their food at Umber valley resort. We all retraced our way back to Bajarwadi on the same trail. Trip to Rohida fort reminded our students that every great adventure starts with a single step,teaching them the value of perseverance and exploration.
