Adding one more name in the list of forts which I have visited. This time it is Vasota – situated near Bamnoli Village, in Satara District, Maharashtra.It is one of the best treks because everything was club together here. This fort is far from Bamnoli village and to reach there you have to go by launch ride in the backwater. Also, this fort is surrounded by the Koyna Sanctuary. So, it’s like adding many adventures together in the single trip – launch ride in the back water, wild life sanctuary visit and Vasota fort visit. The jungle was very dense that even sunlight was not reaching to us during the afternoon. The fort was diminished by the Britishers a long ago; however we could easily spot some of the monuments and wall structure of the forts.
On the journey towards the top of Vasota, we spotted some of the animals and wildlife creatures like– python, scorpion, crabs, common crow butterfly, many other butterflies and many types of wild flowers. We all have experienced adventure and fun/fear due to leeches and while removing them from our legs. They are such a smart creature that you don’t even feel while they are sucking blood from your body and even their presence on your body. You have to put some salt on them to remove them from your skin.
- Leeches gave us a signature/an autograph in the form of a small bite to almost all trekkers, so that you can keep a remembrance of Vasota Fort visit. :) :) :)
