Shivneri Fort 

A landmark of Maratha history is the birth place of 'Chatrapati' Shivaji Maharaj. Shivneri fort was a difficult fort to climb in those times and Shahaji, father of Shivaji, worried about the safety of his pregnant wife Jijabai, chose Shivneri as the place where she could safely give birth to her son. Shivneri fort is a well maintained fort and all the important landmarks in Shivneri fort has been well marked.

When you plan a visit to Shivneri, we also recommend exploring the surrounding scenic spots like “Konkan Plateau”, “Nane Ghat”, “Jivdhan”, “Malshej Ghat” and the famous fort of “Harishchandragad”.
