Bhopatgarh
Jawhar/Dahanu area, Palghar district
If you are looking for a remote hill fort in northern Palghar, Bhopatgarh is a great choice. It stands in the Jawhar-Dahanu belt, far from the usual trekking crowds, and visiting takes the better part of a day. The fort itself is modest, but the setting is the reward, with monsoon-green hills rolling in every direction. It is about 120 km from Mumbai, and the approach road needs some local asking around. Go between October and February for clear views, or in the monsoon if you want the full green effect.
