Mountains teach that not everything in this world can be rationally explained. Let’s get ready to touch the clouds and hug the wind and see the mountains around you. Prabalgad is located between Matheran and Panvel in Maharashtra, at an elevation of 2,300 feet in the Western Ghats. It was built at the pinnacle of the rocky plateau very close to Matheran. Previously, the fort was known as Muranajan until it was taken over and renamed by the Maratha forces under Shivaji’s rule.
The steps leading up to the fort are cut into the rock of the hill. Adding to its beauty is a rusty village which is halfway up at Prabal Machi and Kalavantin Durg. The village is a masterpiece of nature. So if you are thinking about stealing a day out from your daily hectic routine, then a one day trek to Prabalgad could be the best way to do it.
