The Visapur fort trek offers you a splendid view of the Sahyadri. The route is full of dense vegetation, shaded trees and numerous water streams. The Staircase Waterfall is the most exciting part of this monsoon trek that will immediately remind you of the Bhushi Dam. Once you reach the fort, you will see caves, water tanks, an arch and ruins of houses and Wadas among which the large-stone house is known as the Peshwa’s Palace. You will also find a massive carving of Lord Hanuman and several temples around the fort.  

The Visapur fort was captured by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Later British troops captured the fort and fired cannons from the fort to destroy Lohagad fort. The south and north gateways of the Visapur fort were blown up by the British to diminish its significance.
