historical periods and diverse architectural styles. These Marvelous

by Kings and Princes. Back then, these fortifications filled in as regal 
homes loaded up with heavenly royal residences, sanctuaries and 
mosques and key structures like the regal mint, depository, and so on 
They have gone about as protective situations during the time prior to 
getting old in the cutting edge time. Today, these fortresses are 
essential for India's rich authentic and social fortunes. Some of them 
are even included in UNESCO's rundown of World Heritage Sites.

Raigad is a hill fort situated in Mahad, Raigad district 
of Maharashtra, India. It is one of the strongest 
Raigad fortresses on the Deccan Plateau. Many constructions 
and structures on Raigad were built by Chhatrapati 
Shivaji Maharaj when he made it his capital in 1674 
upon being crowned the King of the Maratha Kingdom, 
which later developed into the Maratha Empire, 
eventually covering much of western and central 
India. Raigad fort is the love for treakers. The months 
from November to March mark the winter season in 
Raigad. Winter months are considered to be ideal to 
embark on a Raigad trip as the weather during this 
time is not extreme. This is also considered to be a 
favourable time to enjoy adventure activities like 
ropeway or trekking. Try to avoid travelling to Raigad 
during the summer months as the district experiences 
hot and humid weather during the summer season.

ropeway and trekking. It always makes you energitic.
