We at Nisarga Bhraman have decided to head out to Kaldurg fort near Palghar on the Independence Day, 15th August 2013.
Here is some info about the Fort:
Type: Hill Fort
Height: 1600 Feet above MSL (~Approx)
Grade: Easy
Kaldurga, one of the less explored trek in Palghar region, can be reached by a local train on the Western Railway Line of Mumbai. Looking at the strategic location of the fort, it stands on the route from coast of Palghar to the city of Javhar. One can say that it was built to keep watch on this ancient trade route and the surrounding region. Top of the fort has a big rectangular rock which help identifying the place from a long distance. Unfortunately a water cistern carved in the rocks does not holds water so one has to carry sufficient water with them. Forts like Tandulwadi, Asheri, Asawa, Kohoj etc. and a coastal region can be seen from top.
