Trek to Tandulwadi

What Oye?

Few forts offer views of terrain that is as varied as Tandulwadi. Amidst a bustling surrounding of urbanisation, this mountain stands it guards keeping a close eye on the sea to its west and the small hill and forts to the east and south allowing the Viatarna River to snake amidst its plains.

The trek to Tandulwadi begins through a thick forest that climbs gradually to a small plain at the base of the fort. Walking further through the forest, we come up a small ridge from where we can see southwards. A thin trail from here along the side of the fort makes the walk very exciting. It may be tricky but walking alongside lush swaying grass makes us forget about the anxiety. From here we first come across a fort bastion, followed by a depression in the ridge, further climbing up to the west ridge of the fort. Finally we rest for lunch at the water cisterns which in the thick of the monsoons have fresh water.

The top of Tandulwadi fort offers great views of the Vaitarna River, Asherigad, Arnala Fort, Vasai Fort, Takmak, Khoj fort etc.
