Peb Fort Trek - The BearFoot Travellers

Peb Fort Trek

About Peb Fort:

Peb Fort is located near Matheran Hills in Raigad District of Maharashtra, India. Peb fort also known as Vikatgad Fort. Peb fort is popular and one of the best one-day trek near Mumbai. Huge number of people visit Peb fort during monsoon season.

The Peb fort was named after the Goddess Pebi at the base of the fort and VikatGad fort due to a shape of the mountain like Elephant Headed ‘Ganesha’. There are Caves having various meditation chambers carved out from the rock inside the mountain. Disciples of Shree Swami Samartha take care of these caves. The fort is completely in ruins. Today, it only has one Bastion towards the Panorama point of Matheran. Peb fort is very special because of its meditation chambers, which are well maintained with tiles to sit on.  The fort also has a temple dedicated to Swami Samartha on the top and has the footwear or ‘Padukas’ worn by the great saint kept on the top. The historical reference indicates that Shivaji Maharaj used the caves of the for storing grains.

Peb fort is a bit tougher than a lot of other treks you might have heard of. The best time to visit being monsoon, it is a nature’s treat to watch the clouds almost touching the peak of the mountain. The whole mountain gets slippery because of the rains. Everybody needs to have each others back here as reaching the top is team work.
