the only fort built by Shivaji Maharaj, is a captivating glimpse into Maharashtra's rich history. Its formidable stone architecture and strategic location offer breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea..once you reach sindhudurga you have to take a ticket for fairy which is somewhat 100 rupees for one person then with half an hour journey the fairy take you to the fort and there are so many places to visit inside the for including shivaji Maharaj Temple and his hand and foot print which is still preserved ,within one hour you have to explore the fort and then can take the fairy back to the point you started, they have less place for parking but yeah you can park if you are going by personal vehicle
A must visit historic place situated along the beautiful coastline of Malvan! Make sure to hire a tour guide inside the fortress to learn about its historic significance.
The ferry costs around 50 per person. It will vary depending on the time of your visit.

I visited this fort last weekend. It was an adventurous experience. The view from top is just breathtaking. You need to take a boat ride from the beach to reach the fort. The ticket fare is 100/- per head to and fro. Upon reaching the fort there are a ton of things to explore including temples, wells chor-rastas etc.
It was extremely crowded and sunny. Make sure to carry basic things for sun protection.
You can find small shops for basic eatables, beverages, caps etc.,

Sindhudurg island fort was built under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Construction of the Sindhudurg fort was supervised by Hiroji Indulkar who was took assistance from Portuguese engineers of Goa.
The main purpose to build the fort was to counter the rising influence of foreigners (Dutch, Portuguese, French, British) and curb the rise of Siddhis of Janjira.
The fort lies off the shore of Malvan taluka of the Sindhudurg District in the Konkan region of Maharashtra.
The best time to visit fort would be morning 8.30 to 10.30 and in evening 4 to 6.
There is ferry ride which charges 100rs per person. They also provide safety jackets to visitors.
They give visitors one and a half hour to visit the fort.
There is also facility of Scuba diving and Paracling.
There are a lot of things to see on the fort. Also there are few food stalls on the fort.
There is temple and lot of precious things kept there.
Being a follower of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj I feel Government of Maharashtra should maintain and preserve this fort for future generations, there are a lot of things to do.

The fort holds a lot of history, it is just a shame it is not being maintained in a similar fashion. The place is commercialized with litter by unmindful travellers. Somehow the stories of valour and glory left behind.
The views are mesmerising from the fort. The ferry ticket is 100 per person. Weekends are too busy and need to wait an hour. The early morning visit is recommended. Food and drink options are available on the fort at normal rates. Ferry is good.
Must visit once, you have to take ferry from shore 100 rs for adult. Not much places to visit as renovation work is going on. Best time to visit fort between morning 8 to 11 and evening 4 to 6. I would suggest Go in Evening as sunset looks great from fort.
