Dattatrey Gad, Dighi

Dattatrey gad is located on Dighi hill, on Dighi Alandi road. This hill is known as Dighi hill. it should be just 15-20 kms from pune city.


There are 2 Lord Datta temple, 1 Dargah, 3 stone carved water tanks and a well like structure on hill.



There are two data temples on top, one is small and seems to be old, another is big. It has large "Sabha Mandap"(Hall) and nicely painted walls. There are railing made for Darshan queue so it seems there must be crowd during data jayanti and other lord data festivals. There are iron benches

There are steps and walking trails to reach to the temple on top or one can just trek to reach the top.
This trek is quite simple and takes around 30 mins to reach, there are couple of rock patches but are manageable. At some places stones has been painted with white color to show the route.



View from top is very spectacular and one can see Dighi buildings, water tank from one side and from other side hills and plateau.



Lot of people come here for exercise\workout daily or on week ends.
If you want to build trekking habit in your children then its a good place to visit.
Do not forget to carry 1 liter bottle & camera and wear comfortable shoes.
