The fort is divided into the lower fort and the upper fort. The lower fort doesn’t require much leg work (read climbing). The large archway welcomes you into Pratapgad fort. A number of vendors selling local produce will pitch their wares as you pass them by. We bought a few fruits and they were delicious. A few monkeys may even try to take your belongings away, so it is wise to be vigilant.

The lower fort extends straight ahead and gives you a view into the valley below. There are a couple of cool places to click a few photographs. A lot of people just stop here and carry on because they have many places on their checklist to cover. We however wanted to explore so we headed on towards the upper fort.
