Durg Durgeshwar Kille Raigad Monsoon Trek

About Raigad (Rairi):

Raigad Fort stands as a timeless sentinel of Maratha glory, nestled amidst the majestic Sahyadri mountains. Rising 4,530 feet above sea level, this formidable fortress is more than just stone and walls it is the very soul of Maharashtra’s rich history. It was here, in 1674, that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the visionary and founder of the Maratha Empire, was crowned as the King of Swarajya, marking the beginning of a golden era.

Commanding breathtaking views of lush valleys and rugged cliffs, Raigad Fort exudes an aura of power and resilience. Its towering bastions, grand gateways, and secret escape routes narrate tales of strategic brilliance and valor. The Hirakani Buruj stands as a testament to unwavering courage, while the majestic Maha Darwaza welcomes visitors into a world where Maratha pride still echoes through the winds.

Beyond its military significance, Raigad was a symbol of self-rule and prosperity. The Raj Bhavan, where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj held court, still stands, whispering stories of diplomacy and governance. The Jagdishwar Temple, with its serene presence, and the samadhi (memorial) of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, remind every visitor of the legacy that shaped India’s history.
