Inclusions

Exclusive Activity: Fort tour

Explore the mighty sea fortress of Murud Janjira built in the 15th century. The story behind the fortress goes like this. Centuries ago, some local fishermen built a small fort on a huge rock to seek protection against pirates, and named it Medhekot. However, when the Nizam Shahi Sultan of Ahmednagar came across the location, he got determined to capture the fort due to its wide area and strategic location. Following which, a sturdier and bigger fort was constructed by his generation of rulers. The fort is known to have been named after the Arabic word “jazeere”, meaning island. The fort today attracts tourists in search of an offbeat travel experience, or just about anyone looking for a quiet spot by a beach in Maharashtra.

Please note: Boats carrying visitors to the fort operate frequently in the area. A private boat and guide can be availed at an extra cost.
