Chanderi trek with VRangers on 31st July 2011

 

Although worth mentioning as the jewel in the crown of forts in the district of Raigad, there is no significant history attached to this fort. Near the caves on the fort are visible some remnants of fortification. This is the only sign to designate Chanderi as a fort.

Chanderi is famous for water streams and its difficult route.
