On the borders of the fort are large cannons made from rock that were once used as weapons to deter enemies entering the territory.

Situated a little away from Mumbai, the fort has often been a stopover for people heading to the Alibag beach. The way to the fort is via the sea, you can either choose to rent a horse carriage or choose to wade through waist-high water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the fort, you\u2019ll find a few freshwater wells, some glorious ruins, and a few canon guys guns that lie vacant. Near the walls of the fort, there is a small room that was once considered to be a spy room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Timing:<\/strong> 8 am to 6 pm<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Entry Fee:<\/strong> No entry fee<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distance from Mumbai<\/strong>: 95 kilometres<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

On the massive fort premises, there are two fortresses and a few temples. On the way to the fort, there are a few caves, water tanks, and some small streams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trek to this fort is fairly simple; it is suited for both advance as well as amateur trekkers. It is best to visit the fort via Lonavala as the walk to get to the fort is a flat 15 kilometres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Rajmachi<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Timing:<\/strong> 9 am to 6 pm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distance from Mumbai<\/strong>: 95\u00a0kilometres<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You may also like:<\/strong> 15 Spectacular <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/hill-stations-near-mumbai\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hill Stations Near Mumbai<\/a> To Visit This Summer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

The fort has many entrances, some of the important ones are the Ganesh, Hanuman, and Maha Dawajas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the peak of the fort, one can enjoy splendid views of the Karla and Pawna lakes. The highlight here is the Vinchu Kata (Scorpion\u2019s Tail) fortification that is located a little away from the main section of the fort. To get to the fort, one has to walk up the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Lohagad.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Timing:<\/strong> \u00a09 am to 6.30 pm<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Entry Fee:<\/strong> No Entry Fee.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distance from Mumbai<\/strong>: 99 kilometres<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

It is one of the only forts in the region to be constructed in the centre of the sea. The only way to get to the fort is to hire a boat from the dock nearby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The catch here is that you only get about 40 minutes to explore the fort before you have to head back. However, if you hire a private boat or a personal tour guide, you\u2019re allowed to spend more time at the fort. Inside the fort are beautiful carvings on the walls, docked cannons, and lovely citadels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Murud<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Timing:<\/strong> 6 am to 6 pm<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Entry Fee:<\/strong> Boat rides cost Rs. 20, guides cost Rs. 800 &amp; private boats can be hired for Rs. 600.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distance from Mumbai<\/strong>: 158 kilometres. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are looking to just got trekking or are looking to unearth the historical facts behind some of these forts in Mumbai, we\u2019re sure you will have a good time visiting them.
