route was Swargate - Hadapsar - Saswad - Purandar
After crossing Saswad,take Narayanpur Road. After around 10 km, you get Purandar phata. Purandar base is just 3 km away from this phata. The climb is very easy
Its around 45 minutes climb to Balekilla. This part of the fort is called Balekilla. There are two water tanks here. A very old Kedareshwar temple is also there. Nothing more to see on the Balekilla except the temple. The temple is the highest point on Purandar fort. The view from the temple is very scenic. The surrounding valleys gives you a pictursque view of the area. You can see see Neera river valley, Karha river valley, Sinhagad, Vajragad from the top.
There is a statue of Sambhaji Maharaj. Purandar fort is birth place of Sambhaji. This part is very near to Vajragad. From Sambhaji statue, the Vajragad is very near. Time it would take to reach vajragad. is 20 min. walk.
The route to Vajragad is very easy. Its is covered with thorny bushes. The main Darwaza of Vajragad is unseen until you reached just 10 meters to it. Its very easy path from the Darwaza inside the fort. Vajragad is very small fort, having around 5 buruj. There are two small temples of Shiva and Hanuman. Also the fort is having plenty of big rocks. This is feast for rock climbers. There is nothing more to see on this fort. This fort can be visited within 1 hour.
The total run is around 100 kms (Up & Down) so bikes can be used very easily.
