About Sagargad Fort:

7kms  from  Alibaug  is  an  old  fort  of  Shivaji's  times  at  1357 ft  from  sea-level.  A  dirt-track  road  to  this  fort  begins  at  Khandala  on  Alibaug-Pen  road  to  the  East.  Halfway  to  the  fort  is  Siddheshwar  temple  and  an  Ashram,  where  you  can  rest  a  while.  During  rainy  season,  one  finds  a  cascading  waterfall  called Dhondane  at  this  spot.  To  the  left  just  before  the  Ashram,  the  trek-route  to  Sagargad  begins.  In an hour’s time, one can reach the fort.  The  main  gate  is  in  completely  desolate  state  while  the  two  bastions  are  partially  dilapidated.  Inside,  a  temple  and  a  small  tank  are  in  a  disused  state.  Another tank is known as Pandav Kund. On the fort proper, one finds nine tombs of Satis.  The place is called Sati Plateau.  Besides  this  plateau  a  thumb-like  erect  land  mass  is  known  as  Wanartok.  The fort is totally uninhabited.
