Prabalgad, Mountain fortress in Raigad district, India

Prabalgad Fort rises 2300 feet above sea level in the Western Ghats, featuring stone ruins and remaining defensive structures across its hilltop location.

The Bahmani Sultanate constructed this strategic fortification in the 15th century to monitor activities at Panvel Fort and Kalyan Fort in North Konkan.

The fort contains a Ganesh temple at its summit, reflecting the religious practices and architectural traditions of Maharashtra's historical military structures.

Visitors can reach the fort through a three-hour trek from Shedung village, with the closest railway station located in Panvel.

Four surviving towers and an ancient water reservoir remain at the summit, while the surrounding area provides views of three rivers: Ulhas, Patalganga, and Gadhi.
