Torna fort trek experience

Torna fort trek review:

Torna fort is one of destination for trekkers. Torna fort trek distance is difficult and risky, you need to pass from forest routs to reach fort from base vhale village. It’s hard to view full fort in one day. It takes three and half hours to reach fort , first hill road is constructed can avoid trekking till first hill by travelling by vehicle.

It a thrilling experience while trek you come across the various difficult levels, if you are trekking in month of August and September you can see different kind of flowers but most attractive is the blue and pink color flowers. Your body is sweating, full heat is created in body, legs get heavy, and mind try to give ups.
