Sinhagad

This past Sunday I went to visit a historic fort nearby Pune. Called the Sinhagad, it was so named for the general of Shivaji who lost his life retaking it in 1670.


The fort encompasses a hill, starting at around 1800 feet and going all the way to the top (around 4000 feet). The views were truly breathe-taking.



It is amazing to think that General Tanaji and his men were able to scale such a giant fort.


To prevent any future attacks, I decided to stand guard for a while.


In the end though, after climbing up and down over two thousands steps, I decided that a quick nap in one of the nearby trees was probably the most prudent course of action.
