Sondai Fort : Hidden Beauty Near Matheran 
( Karjat Region )

Sondai fort is a hidden beauty of Karjat. It is not a popular destination but it will blow your mind for sure! This Fort is a part of the Matheran range. 

This is one of the best treks to visit during monsoons near Mumbai. From Sonewadi base village it takes 15-20 mins to reach the plateau.

Sondai is not such a famous fort near Karjat Chowk Phata. Sondai Fort Trek is nine kilometers from Karjat railway station. 

It offers a beautiful view of Morbe Dam, Prabalgad, Irshalgad, Rajmachi, Songiri forts, Karnala Fort, and Matheran mountain range. Sondai Fort Karjat was used as a watchtower to protect the trade routes. 

Sondewadi and Wavarle are the base villages of Sondai fort. Sondewadi village is situated at 1/4th height of this Fort.
















Between our phones, tablets, laptops, and televisions, 

some form of screen time is happening almost 24/7. 

That's why it's become more imperative than ever for us to 

unplug and head out into the great outdoors. 

Spending time outside, whether you're working in the garden, 

hiking at a nearby park, or even relaxing on the beach, 

is good for the soul, 

and now more than ever we all need to take some time for self-care.








What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more, 
   
to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks
    
where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes,
    
or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that   
 
tumble and roll and climb in riotous gladness!
