Fattegad is a fort located 15 km from Dapoli, in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. It is one of three forts built to guard the Suvarnadurg fort; the other two are Goa fort and Kanakdurg.

Now, the Fattegad Fort may be in ruins today, but it has a rich history. Built during the reign of the Maratha Empire under Shivaji, the fort was constructed by Khairiyat Khan and was under the control of Tulaji Angre. The feud between the Peshwa and Angre were at its peak and to regain control of the fort, the Peshwas colluded with the British against Tulaji. Wow, talk about backstabbing!

The fort was captured by Captain James and handed over to Peshwas, but in 1817, the British forces captured the Fattegad Fort from the Peshwas.

Today, the Fattegad Fort is under the administration of the Government of India, and although it may be in ruins, it still stands tall as a reminder of its glorious past. You can see the ramparts facing the sea, and the bridge joining it with Kanakdurg. The walls are also still intact, so you can take a walk and imagine what life would have been like back then.

If you’re planning a trip to Fattegad Fort, you can stay in the nearby Harne village, where you’ll find accommodation and food facilities. Don’t forget to check out the Koli settlement on the hill, situated in Fattedurg itself.

And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can also check out Suvarnadurg, Goa Fort, and Kanakdurg all in one day while staying at Murud Harne. Talk about being a history buff!
