जंगम समाजानी सांभाळून ठेवलेला जावळीतील Madhu-Makarandgad

- When you are watching sunset from Mumbai point at Mahabaleshwar; the sun touches a hill that looks like a saddleback on a horse; before disappearing below the horizon. This hill, behind which sun sets down; is none but Madhumakarand. The twin forts - ‘Madhu’ and ‘Makarand’ sprawl in the east-west direction on the mountain range. The east mountain peak is Makarandgad and the west mountain peak is Madhugad.
A valley pass was traversed in ancient times; from ‘Haathlot’ village at the base of the Madhumakarand fort to the ‘Birmani’ village of Ratnagiri district in Konkan. The Madumakarand fort was built to protect this passage.
At the summit of the Madhumakarand fort is the village ‘Ghonaspur’ where jangam people reside. People of this village are completely vegetarian. There is a sign-board at the temple which says that eating non-veg is not allowed in the village.
The path leading to the summit of Madhu fort is difficult; so, for the safety; it is necessary to carry proper climbing equipment and ropes.
Two paths lead to Ghonaspur village that is situated at the summit of the Madhumakarand fort. One is through the Chaturbet village and the other is through Haathlot village. Both routes lead to the Mallikarjun temple of Ghonaspur. There are some worn out stones inscriptions depicting sacrifices of brave warriors in the battle (Veergali) and one in the remembrance wives of these brave warriors who sacrificed their live on the pyre of their brave husbands (Saati haat). This route from the side of the Mallikarjun temple leads to Makarandgad fort. A steep climb of 15 minutes along the hill edge, one reaches the decrepit doorway of the entrance to the fort. The doorway of the fort receives natural protection as it is carved in the stone. One of the paths, after entering from the doorway, leads to the summit of the fort and the second path going towards right circles around the fort hill to reach the back of the fort. About 10 minutes from the second path, we reach a water tank with pillars. Water in this tank is not suitable for drinking.
Returning on the same path of the water tank, we can see steps heading to the fort’s summit. The steps are broken at many places, so placing your steps carefully makes you reach at the fort top in 5 minutes. There is a Mallikarjun temple with the statue of Nandi just outside the temple placed in the open. There is a dilapidated square structure in front of the temple. Stones of this structure are used to construct a memorial at this place. The backside of the temple does not bear any remains.
We can see the Mahabaleshwar mountain, Chakdev hill, Madhugad, Rasaal Sumaar and Mahipatgad forts from Makarandgad fort.
There is a dusty much traversed path to descend from the fort top. Amidst the path there is a unique rock that has a tunnel or hole formed due to weathering from wind and rain. Climbing down we reach the entry doorway of the fort. A route on the right side from this doorway is the one which had led us to the water tank; now walking left alongside the edge of the mountain, there is a dried-up water tank on the right. The same path leads to Madhugad. The track leading to Madhugad fort is destroyed one so carrying necessary trekking safety equipment and ropes is a must for reaching to the fort top. There is a large water tank on Madhugad fort.

Dada tujhe pratyek vlog khup informative and simple astat keep rocking 💚
Thanks!
Your videos are very good. Hatlot is on the north west side of the fort and the village is connected to Birmani in Konkan via Hatlot ghat. While kondnaal connects Ghonaspur to Birmani via a very steep and long route through boulders. This entire area even now is virgin and thankfully not connected by good roads. One should ideally climb the fort from Hatlot which is a good 1.30 hour climb.
Thanks! Yeah Hatlot cha climb bhari asel or even Kondnaal karu shaklo asto but this time plan vegla hota. Tya sathi kadhi pudhe jaun separately kela pahije. As you said I don't think koni far ti vaat karta infact
