Walk up to the Pratapgarh Fort and you will ascend to the highest point of the Mahabaleshwar hill. The historical battle between Chatrapati Shivaji and Afzal Khan was fought here and this is a great pit-stop for history buffs. The fort lies 24 kms west of Mahabaleshwar and is divided into two sections, namely the lower fort and the upper fort. There is a beautiful trekking route that surrounds the fort and will lead you to the top of the hill in about an hour.
