LIKE - SHARE - SUBSCRIBE ___________________________ About Visapur Fort - Visapur Fort is a hill fort near Visapur village in Maharashtra, India. It is a part of the Lohagad-Visapur fortification.It is located in Pune district, 5 to 6 km from Malavli Railway station out of which 3 km is steep road. It has an elevation of 1084 meters above sea level. The fort was built during 1713-1720 CE by Balaji Vishwanath, the first Peshwa of Maratha Empire. The fort was built much later than Lohagad but the histories of the two forts are closely linked. In 1818, when reducing the Peshwa’s forts, the strength of Lohagad and its fame as the treasury of the Maratha kingdom, caused the English to make special preparations for its attack. A detachment of 380 European and 800 native soldiers, with a battering train, summoned from Konkan, were joined by artillery from Chakan, and two other British battalions. On 4 March 1818, Visapur was attacked and occupied. Making use of its higher elevation and proximity to Lohagad, the British troops set up their cannons on Visapur and bombarded Lohagad, forcing the Marathas to flee. Thus, in 1818, Lohagad-Visapur was taken over by the British in 1818 AD and placed under the command of a Colonel Prother. The fort is larger and at a higher elevation than its twin fort- Lohagad. Within the fort are caves, cisterns of water, a decorated arch and old houses. These two roofless buildings surrounded by outer or veranda walls said to have once been Government offices. The ruins of a large stone-built house are known as the Peshwa’s palace. In addition to a huge carving of Hanuman, there are also several temples dedicated to him scattered all over the place. There is a well which local legend says was built by the Pandavas. visapur fort,visapur fort trek,gardi visapur fort,rush on visapur fort,visapur fort trekking,visapur fort lonavala,mumbai to visapur fort,visapur fort trek route,visapur fort patan route,how to reach visapur fort,visapur fort trek monsoon,visapur fort trek by train,visapur fort kamshet route,visapur fort trek bike ride,visapur fort trek full crowd,visapur fort trek from mumbai,how to go visapur fort from pune,how to go visapur fort from mumbai
