Advantages: An amazing experience! Disadvantages: Some distrubing times!

Climbing up is a favourite ... ...transport bus [named PMT] starting from Bajirao Road to the base of Sinhagad. On the fort visitors get the chance to see some old structures erected when the fort had it's glory - that is almost 250 years ago.
