About Raigad Fort

Raigad Fort, located in the Sahyadri mountain range, is renowned for its historical and strategic importance. The fort boasts approximately 1,737 steps leading to its summit. Alternatively, visitors can opt for the Raigad Ropeway, which provides a convenient ascent. This aerial tramway covers 750 meters and reaches a height of 400 meters, offering a four-minute ride to the top. Therefore, it provides both efficiency and breathtaking views. Historically, the fort played a crucial role in resisting the British East India Company until its destruction in 1818.

💢 Note: Insurance coverage is available exclusively for those who book their seat a day before at 02:00 PM.

💢 Additional Information: For this event, we will use the ropeway for both ascending and descending, as the Payari Marg is currently closed according to the circular from the Collector’s Office. Therefore, ensure you book your seat in advance to secure a spot on the ropeway.

💢 Gear Up: Prepare for your adventure by visiting our store for essential trekking gear. Check out the Store for everything you need.
