Koregad (also known as Korigad, Koarigad, Kumwarigad) is a hill fort located at a distance of around 20 kms from Lonavala. Perched atop an isolated hill away from the din and chaos of the city, the fort spells magnificent and grandeur in all its form. Tucked away at a desolate distance from the main township, the place boasts of panoramic vistas of the adjacent meadows, verdant green woods, sweeping views of the adjoining hills and an all around environment of serenity, solitude and ataraxy.
Built at a height of 923 metres above the sea level, the fort is believed to have been built in the 1500 BC and is the only one of its kind in the town. The nearest village to the fort is Peth Shahpur located at a distance of about 1 km from the castle. The top of the hill offers a splendid view of the valley below and the nearby running streams. Koregad is frequented by tourists, backpackers, adventure enthusiasts and is a common favourite among localites.

The most ideal time to visit the fort is considered to be the monsoon season. That is because during the summers, the water of the lakes at the top of the fort dries up. Whereas, after the rains have fed the lakes, you can witness the fort in all its glory and splendour.

Koregad is located at a slightly desolate spot away from the din of the towns and cities. It is ideal if you have a private vehicle to reach here as there are very few public transport options available ahead of Lonavala. Follow the Aamby Valley route from Lonavala until you reach Peth Shahpur village. Once in the village you can park your vehicle and trek your way up the hill. Paid parking is available in Peth Shahpur near the bus-stop.
