About Visapur
Lohagad's bigger, wilder neighbour and less crowded for it. The best-known approach climbs a stepped section that becomes a waterfall in monsoon, good fun, and also where most accidents on this hill happen. The plateau on top is broad and largely unrestored.
What to see and do
- The stepped waterfall route in monsoon
- Large Hanuman rock carvings
- Ruined mansion and old water systems
- Big plateau with views over Lohagad
- Bhaja caves at the base
