Vikatgad, also known as Peb Fort, is an ancient hill fort located about 19 km from Karjat in the Raigad district of Maharashtra, standing approximately 2,100 feet above sea level. It is part of the Matheran Hill Range and has historical significance as a strategic military outpost used by local rulers, the Marathas, and later the British.
The fort is named after the local goddess Pebi Devi and features ruins of store rooms, water cisterns, caves, and a temple dedicated to Lord Datta. The trek to Vikatgad is popular among adventure enthusiasts for its steep cliffs, deep ravines, and scenic views of surrounding forts like Matheran, Malanggad, and Chanderi. Visitors can explore narrow caves, rock-cut cisterns, and a small palace ruin on the site, making it a vibrant blend of nature and history. The fort is accessible year-round, with monsoon treks providing lush green views, though the paths can be slippery and challenging.
