Rajmachi is one of the most scenic treks in the Sahyadris. Picturesquely located between Khandala and Lonavala, Rajmachi actually consists of two forts Shrivardhan and Manaranjan.
At the base of the Mountain is the serene Tungarli Lake surrounded by waterfalls while Kondhavi Caves can be found on top of the fort. There is a beautiful temple of Kal-Bhairavi between the twin forts. The view from top of the Fort is panoramic comprising Ulhās River, Duke’s Nose.
