Stored distance is 7.47 km. The chart axis follows the DEM sample (8.44 km), not the published line length.

Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 15554626 (ODbL). The mapped line is that geometry. Distance, ascent, descent, and high/low points are the evidence-sheet figures (adjudicated 2026-09-21). Name is the OSM relation name (Rajgad Fort); no tag=* shield. Member ways are untagged for sac_scale; SAC stays ungraded.

OSM 2D length is 7.47 km (OSM line, ODbL, relation 15554626, lastVerified 2026-09-21). Provisional — OSM line, no cited itinerary. Related to rajgad-to-torna (OSM 15554652); do not merge. The published figure is the evidence-sheet 7.47 km for relation 15554626.

High 1,261 m is Copernicus GLO-30 (lastVerified 2026-09-21), verified on the walked OSM line. Low 715 m is the same DEM resample, verified. Ascent 812 m / descent 872 m remain provisional DEM. ⚠ secondary: Trawell — 1400 m (https://www.trawell.in/best-heritage-historical-sites-near-mumbai, accessed 2026-09-21). Rajgad lies at an altitude of 1400 m. Fort summit elevation is a landmark, never this trail high point.
