Asherigad is a hill fort among many in the Palghar region. Apart from breathtaking scenic beauty, there is a long history associated with Asherigad. History mentions that Bhojraj, a descendant of the Shilahar Dynasty built this fort. Hence it can be assumed that this fort is at least 800 years old. The Portuguese rebuilt this fort after they captured it during their rule. In 1737, Peshwa won this fort during his campaign of the Konkan and in 1818 this fort came under the British rule.
Caves, water tanks cutting into rocks, a vast open plateau, a forest, rocks and steps, all are included in this trek. If you are a nature lover or an adventure seeker or just a person trying to take a break from the daily hustle bustle, do not miss this experience. In Monsoon, one can observe the "reverse rainfall" at the impasse where a ladder is kept. Due to strong breeze the water dripping from the rocks flies upwards and creates a magical appearance of upside down rainfall.
