It is one of the famous treks in the Karjat area, because of its small height and easy climbing. It is also known as the Fort of Peth because of its vicinity to Peth village at its base.

In the books it is mentioned in the Treaty of Purander (1655 AD) where Shivaji Maharaj gave 33 forts to the Moghuls. It is also said that Sagargard Fort was later given to Angre, the naval chief of the Marathas in return for loyalty against Shahu Chhattrapati of Satara. In the mid-19th century the British took the fort and built retreat homes on it. Vanartok Pinnacle : Its on the southern side of the fort. This Pinnacle is independent of the sagargad plateau.The problem of climbing this pinnacle is that it is not bolted therefore it is dangerous. Region : Alibaug Height : 452mts - 1357ft.
