About Mrugagad
Mrugagad fort is a small hill fort, leading through dense forest along the valley between the fort and mountain, and then there are few rock patches. The base village Bheliv is a small hamlet in the Raigad district from where the trek usually starts. It takes an hour to reach the top, on the way you would find rocky patches and a cave that required some fitness to ascend. A pinnacle of Moradi stands tall to the east of this fort.
On the way to the top, there is a cave that is bit tough to ascend. Beautiful steps are carved on the rock to reach here on which only one person can go at a time. Few water cisterns carved in the rock and remnants of old houses can be seen on the fort. The fort was used to keep a watch on the surrounding areas including Umbarkhind, Waghdari, and Paymodi Ghat.
