Kurdugad, Hill fort in Raigad district, India.

The fort structure spans across two large pinnacles at 615 meters elevation, featuring water tanks and multiple entrance gates within its complex.

Built during Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's reign with assistance from Sardar Baji Pasalkar, the fort later came under Peshwa control before British rule.

A temple dedicated to goddess Kurdai, after whom the fort is named, stands at the base along with shrines of Kurdeshwar Mahadev.

The trek to reach the fort takes approximately two hours from Jite village, with routes available through both Dhamanwal village and Jite paths.

The fort contains a natural groove behind a Hanuman idol near the entrance, providing shelter space for up to 150 people at once.
