Situated at an altitude of 2600 ft. above
sea level Rangnagad is a trekkers delight. This fort is among the fifteen forts
built during the Shilahar Bhoj’s regime. Shivaji captured Rangnagad in 1659 and
made the fort his favourite resting place. Fresh water lake and Rangnadevi
Temple inside the fort are scenic splendours. Beware of bison’s on Rangnagad,
we recommend you not to wear colourful clothes. When they see any person alone,
they group themselves together quietly at one place and that is the danger singal
for you, but these incidents are rare case.
