Height: 1001 feet above MSL
Base : Uran
Grade: Medium.
Dronagiri is a fort located near Uran in Raigad district. This fort was build in olden days and was captured by the Portuguese during their rule. It also houses a church on top of the fort built by the Portuguese.
We came to the base of Dronagiri after doing the Belapur fort. Uran is around 30km from Panvel by road. Once in Uran we get near the ST stand and then to Dahanu Nagar which is at the base of the mountain. ONGC has its main office in there at the base of Dronagiri. We asked for the route to get to the top of the fort and found that the route is to go ahead inside the nagar and then go up winding on the mountain.We started the trek to Dronagiri to get to the top. The route was very slushy due to the constant heavy rains pounding us continuously.
We got to the top in about 1 hour and there are lot of remnants on top to check out. The main door is a beauty and then there are remains of the church and a beautiful well.
My camera was damaged here due to entry of water inside it.

Dear Jayramaji,
Jay Hind!
really apperciate to wrote with complete details/photographs of most of the unseen/unheard/ lesser visited forts of Vidarbha region. It is a Great step which was knowingly hidden or published by even our so called historian like Shri Babasaheb Purandre and Ninadrao Bedekar and Prof Ghanekar.
Because they never bothered about Vidarbha due to various reasons.
Please keep it up and being the only experts and consultant in adventure from Khamgaon we will support your cause with our expertise/equipments etc.
