The importance of Raireshwar is the Oath of 'Swarajya" by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the temple of Lord Shiva called 'Raireshwar'. Raireshwar is one of the simplest trek near Pune.
How to Reach :
About 75 km and 2 hours journey from Pune. Pune- Kapurhol-Bhor-Varandha Ghat road-Ambeghar- leave Varandhaghat road and take left and enter in Ambeghar Village - Ambawade- take right turn and go with Bhor-Mhakoshiroad road-Korle-Vadtumbi-Oholi-Ghat section-Go on the top of Ghat section- on the way Kenjalgad route on the left- Reach to the hairpin turn and park vehicle here- small vehicles can reach at the nearest base.
Oholi Ghat section is narrow and with sharp turn, so I suggest not to take bus more than 34/36 seater.
