Dear friends
we are glad to announce that "KALPAVIHAR ADVENTURE"
is organizing a Trek to VASOTA FORT
INTRODUCTION
Vasota Fort (Ht : 4267ft)
Situated in dense forests surrounded by river Koyna is the fort of Vasota, which according to the Dnyaneshwari means a resting place. This fort is also known by the name of Vyaghragad.
This fort is believed to belong to the Shilahar dynasty era, and probably named Vasota due to the name Vasantgad given to it during that era. According to ancient scriptures Shivaji took Vasota after his successful raid on Javli region. But it is untrue. Shivaji took Javli and other forts in the Konkan region but Vasota eluded him. When Shivaji was trapped on Panhalgad he dispatched a battalion from his main army and won Vasota on June 6, 1660. Later in 1679, 26,000 rupees were found on the fort. Among the prisoners caught in 1661 in Rajapur, Faren and Samuel were kept imprisoned on the fort.
