The Maratha king Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj commissioned Moropant Trimbak Pingle, his prime minister, to undertake the construction of this fort in order to defend the banks of the Nira and the Koyna rivers, and to defend the Par pass.
Pratapgad is usually visited as a day-trip from the hill station of Mahabaleshwar, a popular tourist destination located 25 kilometres away.
I visited Pratapgad fort back in December 2018 with group of friends. It was really a great trip in that weather and pratapgad was a main flashpoint of the trip.
I recommend you this place, please visit - you won't regret 😉
