Kaldurg in Palghar – Complete guide

About Kaldurg fort:

Kaldurg served as a watchtower. The lower plateau and Gadmatha levels of the fort are separate entities. Gadmatha is a stone with a square form. This incision makes the fort of Kaldurg visible from a great distance. We take around 30 minutes to get to the plateau after beginning to climb the fort. The loft of the fort may be thought of as this plateau. From here, a trail leads us to the fort’s main slope. We arrive at the first tank of the fort after ascending the main hill’s steep incline. We reach the second main staircase of the fort eight to ten steps up from the tank.

Time to reach on top of Kaldurg fort: 1.5 hours.
