Ratangad fort road, part 2 — riding through the Ratanwadi village gate and on towards the pinnacles of the Sahyadri, near Bhandardara, Maharashtra. Forest roads, a dead tree standing in the lake and the jagged Ratangad range ahead. Tip: Ratanwadi is the base village for the Ratangad fort trek; October to March is the best season.
