We are talking about the Prabalgarh Fort situated between Matheran and Panvel in Maharashtra. This Fort is also famous as Kalavanti Fort.

Let us tell you some interesting things about this fort in this article.
Why is this fort so dangerous?

This fort is considered so dangerous because when the trekkers here track through rock-cut hills and sharp stairs, which have neither any railing nor any rope to hold around. Meaning if while climbing, your foot slips even a little, then you will fall into the gorge below 2300 feet. If you can climb with mind, then you can join this difficult trek. You must be wondering who would have become such a tracking part, then let me tell you, even after being dangerous, many people come here to do the tracking. But only a few people are able to complete it successfully. Chanderi, Matheran, Karnal and Irshal can be seen from the top of Kalavanti Fort. Even many places in Mumbai can be seen from here.
