Prabalgad Fort is located in the Raigarh district of Maharashtra. It is a spectacular fort in the embrace of the Sahyadri mountain range along the western ghats. The fort is at an elevation of 700 m above sea-level on a plateau and provides vivid sight of the Irshalgad fort and the Kalyan fort.For this reason, it also had a great historical significance as it was used as a watchtower. The fort got a rebirth under Shivaji’s reign and now it is a remarkable offbeat retreat from the exhausting city-life for the tourists. The Prabalgad terrain is covered with a green blanket of thickets.The place becomes much more scenic during monsoons as mist covers the mountains and waterfalls emerge from within the lush thickets. However, one should avoid trekking during the rains. The summit offers amazing views of the Konkan area and the surrounding mountain ranges. The trek to the fort passes through dense forests through narrow trails. This terrain uphill is rocky and steep at some places with zigzag steps carved out of rocks. While ascending the fort, the plateau covered with a crown of mist makes for an awe-inspiring sight.
