TRAVEL TO KHUBLADHA FORT FROM PUNE/ MUMBAI


Khubladha


Khubladha or Thal fort is situated on the coast of Thal near Alibaug. This was meant to protect Underi fort.

History :
      The fort was built on a natural elevation on the Thal coast. In 1659, when Shivaji Maharaj started building Khanderi fort, Khubladha played a major role as offshore base for men and material. Also, this was to protect any invasion on the land from British and Siddis. In 1749, Siddi conquered the fort. However, Manaji Angre got it back in 1750 in a battle where 200 people of Siddi were killed. Later, since the fort became more vulnerable to attacks, it was abandoned and the base was moved to Colaba fort of Alibaug.

Fascinating Spots :
      Today, only few parts of fort walls are remaining, no other remnants can be seen.

Ways To Reach :
      Thal is about 5 km from Alibaug. The fort remnants are near the sea shore.

Accommodation Facility :
      None

Food Facility :
      In Thal village

Drinking Water Facility :
      In Thal village

KALDURGA TRAVEL FROM PUNE / MUMBAI IN eCabs


Kaldurga


Palghar region in Thane District has many Hill forts. Being close to city, Mumbaikars happily enjoy those as one day treks. All these forts lie on the boundary of Javhar and Thane. Due to availability of good forest land, healthy population of tribes still exists. They live a quite backward life.
Fascinating Spots :
      Kaldurg cannot be called a fort in traditional sense. It shows no signs of being a fort. It could have been a location for observing and keeping a watch on the region (Tehelani). Top of the fort is just a big rectangular rock. Due to this rock it’s quite easy to locate the fort from a distance. The area should comprise half an acre. On the plateau under the rock patch, there is a big water tank. A cistern can also be found. The fort can be conceived as divided in 2 parts namely top of the fort and plateau below. 2-3 steps help us to get on the top from the plateau.

Ways To Reach :
      By Waghoba Khind:
From Mumbai one can reach Palghar via Virar or ST service is available from Kalyan to Palghar. Taking ST to Manore, we get down at Waghoba temple. The small way to the right of the temple takes us to the fort. We can recognize this route by a hand-pump at the start. It lies exactly ahead of the pump. Moving ahead it divides into three ways. Leaving left and right we take the central one.

Time To Reach :
      2 hours through Waghoba Khind

KOHOJ FORT FROM MUMBAI :- MAHARASHTRA SPECIAL TAXI


Kohoj 

Very few forts, to the north of Mumbai in Palghar region of Thane district, are still showing their existence, among which is the fort of Kohoj. This fort lies at about 10 to 11 kms. from Wada on the route of Wada – Palghar.

Kohoj Past :-
      Not much know about its History.Looking at its well-dug cisterns, the fort can be said to be belonging to Bhoj-period. But no such evidences are available. In 16th century, Portuguese captured this fort from the King of Gujarat. They constructed fortifications and bastions on this fort. Later, in 18th century, Peshwa conquered this fort in their campaign of 1737. Afterwards the fort remained under the British rule.

Place
      On reaching the plateau of the fort, a temple of Lord Shankar can be seen, which has now been rehabilitated. Two cisterns can be seen in front of the temple. One of the routes descends from the left side of the temple, where seven adjoined cisterns are located. One of the cisterns bears clean water. The other two cisterns have been spoiled, the remaining four being clogged. Few remnants in dilapidated state can be seen to the right of the temple. Fortification is also seen at some of the places on the fort. The other way stretches from the right side of the temple up the hill. Three large cisterns can be seen on this route, one of which is clogged and the other two contain water. This water can be used for drinking. An idol of Lord Hanumana can be seen near these cisterns.

Making headway along this route we reach near the bastion, which is now in a dilapidated state. A temple of Lord Hanumana is located to the left of this bastion. From here, we climb up the steps and within 15 minutes of walk reach at the top of the fort. Here we come across many natural pinnacles formed due to wind-erosion. A man-shaped pinnacle is one of the greatest wonder of nature’s creation. This is the most attractive place on the fort. Different shapes of this pinnacle are evident when viewed from various directions. A temple of Lord Krishna is situated ahead along this route.
