Kurdugad Fort, Located Near the Scenic Mulshi
Located to the west of Mulshi, on the boundary between the Mulshi and Mangaon talukas, this fort, which is on the border of Mangaon taluka, falls under the jurisdiction of Mangaon. However, when traveling from Pune, the fort, perched on the Sahyadri range overlooking Mulshi, feels much closer to Mulshi. Mangaon is a taluka in the Raigad district, situated on the Mumbai-Goa highway, and it is well connected to Pune through the Tamhini Ghat.
Standing majestically on the mountain peak of the Sahyadri ranges, Ghangad is an ideal spot for a one-day trek. With an easy climb and an iron ladder placed at difficult spots, this fort offers a panoramic view of the cliffs and valleys of the Sahyadri. To the west of the fort, one can see Sudhagad, Sarasgad, and Telbaila. The deep valley between Telbaila and Ghangad attracts attention. This historically significant fort is located on the western ridge of Sheve, in the Maval taluka of Pune.
