Rangana Fort
Rangana Fort, also known as Prasiddhagad, is a historically significant hill fort located on the Sahyadri mountain ridge in the Bhudargad taluka of Kolhapur district, Maharashtra, near the boundary with Sindhudurg district. Built in the 12th century by King Bhoj-II of the Shilahar dynasty, the fort has a rich history involving multiple rulers, including the Bahamani dynasty, Adilshahi rulers, and Maratha king Shivaji Maharaj who captured it in the 17th century.
The fort is situated about 2600 feet above sea level, surrounded by dense forests, and is known for its challenging terrain and natural beauty. It contains several historic structures such as gates, temples, and water tanks. The fort played a strategic role in regional defense and remains a prized destination for history enthusiasts and trekkers due to its rugged terrain, wildlife, and panoramic views of the surrounding Konkan and Sahyadri landscapes.
Despite its historical importance, it remains relatively less visited because of the strenuous trek required to reach it. The area around the fort is rich in natural beauty and wildlife, adding to its appeal as an adventurous excursion spot.
