Vikatgad is a small fort near the ranges of Matheran on northeast side of Panvel at a distance of 3-4 km on west side of Neral. It is also known as #Peb and has an elevation of 2100 ft. #Nakhind, #Chanderi, #Mahasmal and #Prabalgad all can be seen from the Vikatgad fort.
#Vikatgad has some dramatically sloping sides that are covered in grass during the monsoon season. Charming little trails lead up these slopes, into the misty summit, offering views of the rainclouds coming in from all sides. From the top, you can see far into the distance on a clear day. There are some fairly big streams and pools on your way to the top, so be prepared to get your shoes wet!
