About
The trio of Mahuli, Palasgad, and Bhandargad is easily visible from the Mumbai-Nashik highway near Shahpur town. All these 3 peaks are part of the fort. Palasgad stands on the northern side, Mahuli lies in the middle and Bhandargad stands on the southern side. The topmost peak of this mountain is the highest point of Thane district. Therefore, it is also a popular mountain fort in the Thane district of Maharashtra. The fort lies at an elevation of 2815 feet (858 Meters) above mean sea level.
The Mountain of the fort i.e Mahuli Fort lies amidst Tansa Wildlife Sanctuary. So naturally, it has very dense vegetation around it. Moreover, in the monsoon season, on completion of the Mahuli fort trek, you can see magnificent lush green views of the surrounding region from the top of this fort. In clear weather, you can able see the various mountain peaks of Harishchandragad Fort, Kalsubai, Alang-Madan-Kulang, Matheran Hill Station and Ajoba fort.
