Perched at 3,700 ft above sea level, Irshalgad lies between Matheran and Panvel and is easily accessible. This route to the fortress has so many stunning viewpoints over Morbe Reservoir that you want to go on this trek for just that. It may look scary, but don't be frightened by its size. The trek is classified as easy to moderate and can be easily climbed even by novices. On the way up, you'll see several water cisterns cut from the rocks and some wildlife. We recommend you go with a group or book a slot with Mumbai Pune Adventures, and they will provide everything from breakfast to trekking gear, history lessons, and more.
