The Jewel of the Sahyadri
Ratangad, meaning a jewel among all forts, is indeed a jewel in the Sahyadri. It is a 400 years old structure set against the scenic backdrop of the Bhandardara lake and stands at a towering height of 4255 feet above sea level. At the base of the fort stands a architecturally astounding 1000 year old Shiva temple. On going upward, one will find the fort’s ruins, caves, water cisterns and also the lovely Rani Mahal.
