Hotels Near Rajgad Fort

Pune, Maharashtra, India
Rajgad Fort, meaning "Royal Fort," holds immense historical prestige as it was the first capital of the Maratha Empire for over 25 years (from 1646 to 1672), before the capital was shifted to Raigad. It was originally called Murumdev, but Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj renamed it Rajgad after its thoro ugh fortification and expansion, utilizing the hidden treasure found at nearby Torna Fort. Situated at an altitude of 1,376 meters (4,514 feet), it is a massive and complex hill fort built around a central, conical citadel called the Balekilla (Small Fort), surrounded by three distinct spurs, or machis (outposts), named Padmavati Machi, Sanjivani Machi, and Suvela Machi. The fort’s unique design, featuring the centrally located Balekilla at the highest point, made it virtually impregnable and a perfect administrative center. This is where Shivaji Maharaj's son, Chhatrapati Rajaram, was born, and where Shivaji’s wife, Saibai, passed away and was interred. Due to the high strategic importance and complexity of the structure, Rajgad is considered a masterpiece of Maratha military architecture. Today, it stands as one of the most popular and challenging trekking destinations in the Pune district, attracting visitors with its compelling history and grand, sprawling ruins.
