About Mohangad
A small fort in the Bhor hills built to watch one of the approaches towards Raigad. Very little is recorded about it and there is not much left on top, which is why it stays empty even on weekends when the nearby forts are full.
What to see and do
- Cisterns and scattered wall remains
- Quiet forest approach
- Views towards the Raigad ridge
Part of Sahyadri (Western Ghats).
