Activity: Trek + Camping + Valley Crossing at Peb Fort. 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 lietrally 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 moderate hike to the top in monsoon is a
fresh experience. The approx 3 hours one way
hike to Kohoj fort is filled with small lakes,
hills, misty surroundings and lots of rain to
soakin. The two very peculiarly shaped pinnacles
are the guiding lighthouse to the fort of Kohoj
playing hide and seek in the monsoon clouds.
The view from the top is amazing. There are
water tanks on the top.
