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.

The beach, in a horse-shoe shape, is flanked by mellow hills, and has both white and black beaches. After exploring the beach, head back to the resort where you can have a candlelight dinner in the densely-forested area on the hilltop, with a light breeze and views of the sea.
This morning, after breakfast, head out for a fort tour. Explore the majestic Janjira fort in the sea. You can have your picnic basket packed from the resort and have your lunch in the fort. After you come at the resort, you might want to explore the nearby Nand Gaon village (transport cost not included) in the evening to see the local life closely. Once you are back, you can unwind in the gazebo. Sit here, have tea and enjoy your meals. Or just lounge around and read a book.
