Vasota Fort, also known as Vyjagad, is one of the most adventurous jungle treks in Maharashtra. Surrounded by thick green canopy and steep cliffs of the Koyna Wildlife Sanctuary, reaching Vasota is an unforgettable journey that begins with a boat ride from Tapola.

Trek Highlights

The journey starts with an scenic 1.5-hour boat ride from Tapola across Shivsagar Lake to Met Indavali base camp. From there, a 2.5-hour forest trek leads up to the summit which stands at 4,267 feet.

Essential Tips for Vasota Trek

  1. Carry valid ID proof for forest entry permits at Bamnoli/Tapola.
  2. Start early in the morning (by 7:00 AM) to enjoy cooler temperatures.
  3. Plastic items are strictly regulated by forest officers to preserve the sanctuary.
