About Torna Fort in Pune

Torna Fort is a major tourist attraction in the district of Pune, Maharashtra. It is a magnificent fortress and is otherwise popularly known as Prachandagad. Torna Fort is not only a tourist attraction but also offers exciting hiking trails for adventure lovers, and offers a vivid insight into the history. In the year 1646, the Torna Fort was captured by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and was considered as an important part of the Maratha Empire. Torna Fort is located on a hill at an elevation of 1403 metres, and is also the highest hill-fort in Pune.

Torna Fort History

According to the history of India, Torna Fort was constructed in the 13th century by a sect called Shaiva Panth who were the followers of Lord Shiva. History has it that in the year 1646, Chhatrapati Shivaji seized the fort when he was only fifteen years old. Ever since, the fort remains one of the premier forts captured under the Maratha empire. Later, the fort was renamed as 'Prachandagad' by Shivaji. He had also built various monuments and towers inside the fort.

The fort went under the siege of Mughal empire for a brief period during the 18th century after Sambhaji, son of Shivaji, was assassinated by the Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb. He also renamed it to Futulgaib as a symbol of the difficulties faced during the defense of the Fort. However, it was again conferred back to the Maratha confederacy under the Treaty of Purandar.

Ramaswamy's 5 days trip to Pune

Hotels booked are not as expected and situated away from main area. Hotel Aristo at Lonavala is below average. Cab driver was very helpful but always on mobile during driving which I have advised him frequently not to attend phone calls during driving but not followed. Some times he leaves us on the

road instead of nearby parking lot to avoid parking fee. Despite some setbacks we enjoyed well. When we went Orissa tour during Feb.25 booked through you, everything was fine
