MAHULI FORT
Mahuli, Thane, Maharashtra, India
Mahuli Fort at 2815 Feet, is a popular trekking destination and a paradise for rock climbers because of many nearby pinnacles with interesting names like Vazir, Vishnu given by the local trekking and climbing fraternity. This mountain complex is actually a group of two or more hills with common cold and pinnacles. It is the highest point in the Thane district. The forest surrounding Mahuli has been declared as a sanctuary. Once Shahaji Raje, father of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, had this fortress. The fort has been declared as a protected monument. Besides an open Shiva temple there is a small perennial drinking water cistern on top, three caves of which the larger can be used as overnight shelter, like as on many other such natural hill forts of Maharashtra Western Ghats.
