One can either travel by road, <strong>via Panvel and Alibaug</strong> or take a <strong>ferry from Gateway to Mandwa</strong>, near Alibaug and travel about 50 kms by road. We opted for the latter.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">The trip was planned for two days. Day 1 was for exploring the Janjira fort, Murud beach and if time permits, other historical places in and around Murud. Plan for day 2 was to cover Pansad wild life sanctuary and Koralai fort. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">Janjira fort is accessble from Rajpuri (the old port), 4km from Murud, by sail boats.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong></strong></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>History</strong> </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">Janjira fort was originally constructed in the <strong>12th century by Siddis</strong>, businessmen turned rulers from Abyssinia, near Africa. While that puts the age of the fort as <strong>950 years old</strong>, most records say that the fort in its current form was built over <strong>350 years</strong> back by Siddi Johar. This is the <strong>only fort in 700+ km</strong> <strong>coastline</strong> of Maharashtra which <strong>remained unconquored</strong>. With a height of over <strong>90ft above sea and 20 ft strong foundation</strong>, it took <strong>22 years to build</strong> the fort. Attacked by the Portuguese, the British, Shivaji, Knhoji Angre and Sambhaji, the fort remained unconquored. Sambhaji went ahead and constructed a fort in a nearby island (Padamdurg Fort, now known as Kasa) . Kasa fort is not accessible for public and requires special permission from Port Trust / Navy.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27248875-114629425927131796?l=murudjanjira.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Unnynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248875.post-1146292751180987272006-04-29T11:47:00.000+05:302006-05-06T12:03:35.946+05:30<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/1%2001%20atgway1.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/1%2001%20atgway1.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> At Gateway.
