About the place -
Ratangad, also known as the Jewel of Forts is located in the Bhandardara region. The view of Katra cliffs, Kalsubai Mountain Range and backwaters of the Wilson dam from atop the fort is just breathtaking. The fort has three enyrance doirs - Ganesh Darwaja, Konkan Darwaja and Tryambak Darwaja. One has to climb a ladder to Ganesh Darwaja as the rock cut steps were destroyed by Britishers. Trimbak Darwaja is a marvelous piece of architecture, carved in a single rock. Nedhe (Naturally formed Needle Hole) is a good place to enjoy Sunset. Ratangad is a source of river Pravara. Khutta pinnacle, Kalsubai peak, forts like Alang, Madan , Kulang, Pabargad and Ajoba mountain etc can be seen from top.
