User Experience

Muda is not renowned as a fort. The view from the top of Muda is mesmerising. In the entire surrounding of Bhandardara, Muda is the tallest peak after Kalsubai. Walking from the Farmlands, Under the shadows of the trees also fills oneself with sheer joy. After walking for an hour on the right are seen Sindola and the rock walls of Ghanchakkar. After climbing for almost 2 and 1/2 hour the first plateau is reached and the topmost plateau of Muda still stands amidst the clouds. After sometime comes a dense forest of trees and the coolness shakes off the thoughts of returning back due to the scorching sun. To the right is seen the fort of Ratangad. So tall is the peak that all the surrounding forts of Ratangad, Ghanchakkar, all others look very small comparatively. Bhandardara dam is visible in the panorama of one's eye and standing behind it are the greatest peaks of Maharashtra, Alang-Madan-Kulang and the tallest peak of Kalsubai behind it. Malshej ghat range is also clearly visible from here. This landscape seems the best one has ever seen and the four hours of climbing seem fruitful.
