Kalavantin Durg

The summit rises to 2,250 feet above sea level, featuring a series of steep rock-cut steps that lead to the mountain peak in Maharashtra.

Built during the 15th century, this mountain structure served as a strategic watchtower for monitoring activities in the surrounding Western Ghats region.

Local residents of Thakurwadi village maintain the ancient traditions by serving as certified guides, sharing stories about Queen Kalavantin through generations.

The challenging trek requires registration at the base, proper hiking equipment, and takes approximately four hours to reach the summit from Thakurwadi village.

The carved stone steps along the 60-degree incline present some of the most vertical climbing conditions found in the Western Ghats mountain range.
