Sidgad Fort


Siddhagad or Sidgad Fort is situated 16 km southeast of Murbad in Raigad District of Maharashtra. Siddhagad Fort is divided into lower and upper fort. The lower fort is about 1,400 ft above sea level and the upper fort is about 3235 ft above sea level. The fort is hard to climb and it takes at least three hours of hard walking to reach the principal 'Darwaza' (door).
