Murud-Janjira Fort | All You Need To Plan A Trip
Janjira Fort in Konkan Maharashtra remained an unconquered fort throughout its history and only became part of rest of India in 1947. Th region of Konkan is a stunningly beautiful coastal region in western India, stretching across the coastline of Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka. It is a land of pristine beaches, lush greenery, and a rich cultural heritage. In today's Maharashtra travel vlog, we'll cover all of these aspects of Konkan!

The region is known for its people, its unique cuisine, numerous beautiful temples, water sports and more. It's also a great place for a road trip - in fact, you can do one right from the top to the end of Konkan in Karnataka. Today's story is also about a road trip in Konkan from Mumbai to Murud. As I travel around in this region, we explore the history, culture, food, adventure and more over this almost 20-minute film!
The prime attraction of Murud is Janjira Fort which has a rather unique history, and the version changes based on who narrates the story to you (similar is the case with online resources as well). I've narrated the version that the fishermen told me, however, according to other legends the Kolis from the coastal village had first built a wooden structure on the rock, and the Siddis later took over the rock and built the present day fort. Most forts in India have evolved this way. A good example is the Korlai Fort which was built by the Portuguese first and then taken over by the Marathas who built many fortifications there as well, and finally the British who made their own additions. The history of forts is always fascinating!
Beyond the Janjira fort there's so much more to do and explore there, including the 1st-century Buddhist Caves at Kuda.
Overall, Konkan is a wonderful destination for those looking to experience the beauty of India's west coast. From its stunning beaches and rich cultural heritage to its delicious cuisine and picturesque hill stations, Konkan has something to offer everyone.

Correct your words janjira fort was initially built in the 15th century by the Koli fishermen of Rajpuri village on a rock in the sea. It was taken over by the Siddis.
