Activity             : Trek + Camping + Valley Crossing at Peb Fort, is situated on northeast side of Panvel, at a distance of 3-4 km on west side of Neral. This is the most beautiful one-day trek, with a dense forest on the way to the fort. Sometimes one needs to literally find their way through to the top in the dense forest. It takes around 4 hrs to reach the cave under the fort. The actual fort is above a cave, which is difficult to climb. From Peb, it takes another 2 hrs to descend to the nearest road-head. It’s an awesome & adventurous trek which includes a cavestay, outdoor cooking and valley crossing. Lots of green fields to see and ample of rain to soak!!!

The fort is also named as ‘VikatGad’. Historical references clearly indicate that Shivaji Maharaj used the caves on the fort as silos for grain storage. Fascination spots are cave on the fort is occupied by disciples of Swami Samarth, a great saint. The beautiful waterfall on the way is the main attraction here. Surrounding scenery looks marvelous from the cave in the monsoon.
