Purandar Fort

Explore the Majestic Purandar Fort – A Treasure of History and Nature

Purandar Fort, perched high in the Western Ghats, is not only a fortress of historical importance but also a picturesque destination that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys. 

Known for its association with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Purandar holds a special place in Maratha history. Just a short drive from Jija Farm, this fort is an ideal destination for history enthusiasts, trekkers, and nature lovers alike.

Purandar Fort’s rich history dates back to the 11th century, but it rose to prominence during the reign of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This fort became a significant base for the Maratha Empire, with Shivaji’s son, Sambhaji, being born here. 

The Treaty of Purandar, signed between Shivaji Maharaj and the Mughal Empire in 1665, marks an important event in Indian history. Today, visitors can explore the ancient structures, temples, and learn about the fort’s vital role in shaping the history of Maharashtra.
