Mumbai To Mumbai
Overview
Step back into history with our Raigad Expedition, a trek to the legendary fort once crowned as the capital of Swarajya by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1674 AD. Known as the “Gibraltar of the East,” Raigad Fort stands tall at 4,400 ft in Mahad Taluka and offers not only panoramic Sahyadri views but also a deep dive into Maratha heritage. From the Samadhi of Shivaji Maharaj to Rajmata Jijabai’s residence, every stone narrates tales of valor, vision, and legacy. This trek is suitable for both beginners and seasoned trekkers, offering a blend of history, adventure, and breathtaking landscapes.
