Routes: From Pune you got to head towards Lonavala. On the way there is a diversion just before Khandala Ghat which will take you to Kunhe Gaon which is a village from where u have a bad road which will lead you to Rajmachi or Udhewadi which is a base

for "RAJMACHI FORT". because there's another place with the same name "Rajmachi" which is just a view point at khandala ghat near Khandala.
