KURDUGAD (VISHRAMGAD) :: Near the base of the fort is a temple of Goddess of KURDAI. On the way up, there are remnants of a gateway. Entering by this gateway a Hanuman Idol, about 1m in height grabs our attention. Behind this idol we find a natural ghal (groove). This groove can easily accommodate around 100-150 people. Fort has 2 large pinnacles, of one comprises the fort top. One can traverse the path around the pinnacle, but it is damaged completely at certain places in between. There are one or two water tanks on the fort. The top offers excellent view of entire nearby region. Location of Kurdugad attaches to it real significance, strategically. A pass called Tamhini Ghat, can be easily controlled from here. Besides, it has Raigad & Kokan diva forts on its backside.
.
MANGAD :: Mangad, a small hill fort, is placed on a spur rising from the ghats. It lies in Bhuleshwar range, at an altitude of about 3, 252 feet, and is about 25 km from Tamhini. The fort overlooks the Kumbha pass.
