Shrivardhan Fort, also known as Rajmachi Fort, is a significant historic site situated in the Sahyadri mountain range near Lonavala in the Raigad district of Maharashtra. This fortification, built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the 17th century, plays a crucial role in the Maratha Empire's defense system.
The fort, perched at an elevation of around 900 meters (3,000 feet), offers trekkers both a challenging climb and stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Shrivardhan Fort, being one of the two forts constituting the Rajmachi Fort complex, served as a watchtower overlooking the strategic Bor Ghat trade route. The fort’s architecture comprises massive stone walls, formidable bastions, and intricate gateways, reflecting the prowess of Maratha artisans.
The fort also houses two water tanks at the hill's summit for storing water, one of which features an iron pillar.
