2300 फीट की ऊंचाई पर स्थित है यह किला। इस किले पर चढ़ने के लिए इस पहाड़ी की चट्टानों को ही काट काटकर सीढियाँ बनाई गयी है, और सबसे बड़ी समस्या है इन सीडियों पर ना तो रस्सियाँ है और ना ही कोई रेलिंग। आइये जानते हैं दुनिया के सबसे खतरनाक किले के बारे में....
Prabalgad Fort, also known as Kalavantin Durg, is located between Panvel and Matheran in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The structure is built at a height of 2300 feet on top of a plateau which is located close to Matheran. Previously, the fort was known as Muranjan until it was taken over and renamed by the Maratha forces under Shivaji’s rule. This fort is built of granite stones cut from the same hills. The bonding materials used here is the commonly used lime stone. It has got thick and strong walls, which are still not weathered off. The fort contains a temple to Ganesh and some stone ruins. On the inner part, there are many small and medium complexes found here. It does have watch towers on its top. The fort can be approached via a chillingly steep climb. The steps leading up to the fort were cut into the rock of the hill. There are no safety rails on the edge and no ropes on the wall to grab on to.
