Murud, Janjira and Kashid: A 2-Day Sightseeing Tour from Mumbai Detailed overview
- Murud-Janjira is a fort located on an oval-shaped rock off the coast of the village of Murud, in the Raigad district of Maharastra. This fort is considered one of the strongest marine forts in India. The fort is approached by sailboats from Rajapuri Jetty. The fort was built by Malik Ambar, an Abyssinian minister in the service of the Sultan of Ahmednagar, who belonged to the Nizamshahi dynasty. The fort, built at the end of the 17th century, is almost entirely intact today.
- On the other hand, Kashid is a scenic coastal town almost 30 kilometres from Alibaug and in the North Konkan region of Maharashtra.
