Kalavantin Durg, standing tall at 2,300 feet in the Western Ghats, served as an ancient watchtower and offers an exhilarating trekking experience. Located between Matheran and Panvel, this trek is famous for its steep, rock-cut steps that zigzag their way to the summit, offering a heart-pounding adventure and breathtaking panoramic views. Originally known as Muranjan, the fort was renamed by the Maratha forces under the rule of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Despite its proximity to Prabalgad Fort, Kalavantin Durg stands out for its challenging ascent and the sense of accomplishment it offers to those who reach the top.
