Why to visit Manjarabad Fort

The climb to the fort is strenuous, but the view of the Western Ghats from the summit is breathtaking.

At 3,240 feet above sea level, the octagonal star-shaped Manjarabad Fort is 6 kilometres from the town's bus stop. On a clear day, the fort, which is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India, offers expansive views of the hillscape and even the Arabian Sea.
