In
the
middle
of
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
the
market
town
is
an
ancient
fort,
known
as
one
of
the
most
haunted
places
in
India.
We
visited
here
in
October
2021,
when
tourism
had
only
just
resumed
post-pandemic.
Keep
to
the
right
on
the
road
to
Shaniwar
Wada,
which
is
a
one-way.
You
might
miss
the
entry
if
you're
not
careful.
It
is
just
close
to
the
curve
on
the
road.
Things
to
know:
1.
Ample
parking
inside-
free-
parking.
2.
Entry
fee-
25
INR.
It
is
given
in
the
form
of
a
token,
like
the
ones
used
in
Metro.
3.
Take
a
walk
on
the
walls
of
the
fort,
which
is
steeped
in
stories
of
the
time
past.
However,
the
climb
to
the
wall
is
a
rather
steep
set
of
stairs,
not
recommended
for
the
elderly
or
people
with
knee
troubles.
The
walls
DO
NOT
have
high
walls,
so
if
you
have
a
fear
of
heights,
or
if
you're
travelling
with
kids,
be
extremely
cautious.
4.The
view
from
the
walls
toward
the
inside
of
the
fort
is
a
sprawling
Mughal
styled
garden.
This
is
the
place
where
a
7-storied
building
once
stood
tall
and
majestic
with
its
1000
inhabitants.
It
was
completely
gutted
down
in
a
fire,
claiming
the
many
lives.
Here
the
ruins
alone
remain.
5.
It's
a
beautiful
walk,
steeped
in
culture,
amidst
the
noise
of
the
bustling
city.
The
ambience
and
the
silence
is
eerie
if
you
visit
here
in
the
evening.
6.
There
might
have
a
light
show,
which
is
yet
to
resume
post-pandemic.
7.
It
a
place
worth
visiting
to
reminisce
the
time
of
the
brave
Peshwas.
