Raigad

Paud - Mulashi - Tamhini (vile)-Mangaon

Mangaon, around 18 km from Vile.

From Mangaon, take Mumbai-Goa highway upto Mahad. Mangaon-Mahad distance is 30 km. Just at the entry point of Mahad, there is Raigad phata. Raigad is around 25 km from this phata.

There are two options to go on Raigad.

First is, you have to ascend Raigad by the steps. It takes around 2 hours to reach the top. This route takes you to the front side of the fort. The other option is to try Raigad Ropeway. It takes just 4 minutes to reach the top by ropeway. But this is paid service. You have to pay aronud Rs. 120 for to-and-fro ride. (they might have raised the fare now)

Rani Mahal, Gangasagar talav, Market, Takmak tok, Jagadishwar temple, Rajwada, Shivaji Maharaj samadhi.

(to be concluded....)
