Gorakhgad
To reach Gorakhgad, take a bus to Murbad. Regular S.T. service is available for Murbad from Kalyan. From Murbad then
take a bus to Dehari .Right from Dehri village can be seen two prominent pinnacles. The smaller one is Machchindragad and bigger one is Gorakhgad.
It is possible to camp in the Vitthal temple in Dehri. Just behind this temple is a walkway that takes us to the fort entrance,
which is carved-out in the rock. This way one can reach the fort in about two hours. Reaching the cave is quite an easy trek.
However, if one wishes to go to the top in the temple, then one will have to be a bit careful covering the rest patch! It's
a thrill......enjoy it! However, it's better not to try this patch in the monsoon when the rocks are slippery.Reaching the
top of the Gorakhgad is a nice thrill that one should enjoy, except in the monsoon! The view around, is wonderful........Siddhagad
in the south-west and Naneghat, Jivdhan, Dhakoba in the east, offers a nice panorama.Spacious cave to have a stay is
another attraction of Gorakhgad.
