Gambhirgad
Gambhirgad Fort is located around 58 km from Dahanu in Palghar district, Maharashtra, and though considered less prominent today, it holds historical significance as part of Jawhar State. The fort was granted by Jayabha Mukne, the ruler of Jawhar, to a Warli chief and later came under the state government’s control.
Gambhirgad is mentioned among the forts repaired by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and played a role during various military campaigns in the region, including control shifts involving the Marathas and Portuguese. The fort lies on a hill spread over about 40 acres, featuring ruins of ramparts, bastions, water cisterns, and remnants of temples. Scenic views from the fort include surrounding hills, the sea near Talasari, and nearby forts like Asheri and Adsul.
The trekking route is moderately challenging, passing through forested areas with some spots having historical carvings and natural caves. While much of the fort is in ruins and overgrown, it remains a site of local legends and Maratha military history, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Palghar district.
