Monsoon At Visapur Fort

A part of Lohagad-Visapur fortification, Visapur fort is a hill fort near the vilage of Visapur in Maharashtra. It was built during 1713-1720 CE by Balaji Vishwanath, the first Peshwa of Maratha Empire.

These photographs explore the environment of the place during monsoon; the area remains covered in mist and it rains almost every day. At places, one can see patches of clouds moving around with rain pouring out of them, simultaneously. There is a stretch of the trek where one has to climb over a waterfall, and at the peak, it gets difficult to keep the eyes open for long, and the small waterfalls often flow partially upward, owing to the force of the wind! Given all that, it’s a beautiful place to visit during the Monsoon rains, which adds an ethereal quality to the historic grandeur of the place.
