Murud Janjira Fort in Maharashtra’s Raigad district has reopened to visitors after remaining closed during the monsoon season for safety measures and cleaning work. The reopening took place on October 16, 2026, bringing the historic sea fort back into the region’s tourist season.
Why Was the Fort Closed?
The fort was shut during the monsoon because of seasonal safety concerns and the need to carry out cleaning. With the work completed, visitors can once again plan trips to the historic coastal attraction.
Where Is Murud Janjira Fort?
The fort lies off the coastal village of Murud, in Raigad district, Maharashtra. Known for its location surrounded by the sea, it is a popular heritage destination for travellers exploring the Konkan coast.
Reopening Brings Hope for Local Tourism
The return of visitors is welcome news for local boat operators, hotels and other businesses that depend on tourism. The reopening also comes ahead of the main tourist season, when more travellers begin exploring Maharashtra’s coastline.
What Should Visitors Know?
Before travelling, visitors should confirm local access arrangements, boat services and visiting conditions. Weather and sea conditions can affect coastal excursions, so checking locally before departure is sensible.
