Chandan Vandan Trek
At, post, Dudhanwadi, Kholvadi, Maharashtra 415011, India (Satara)
If you are looking for an easy twin-fort walk in Satara district, Chandan Vandan is a great choice. The two small forts sit side by side near Dudhanwadi, and their gentle slopes make this a relaxed day out rather than a serious climb. Monsoon turns the plateau bright green, which is when this trek shines. It is about 107 km from Pune with Palshi as the nearest station. Go between June and September for the best of the season, and carry your own water since facilities are thin.
