'''Konkandiva Fort ''' ({{lang-mr|कोंकणदिवा किल्ला}}, {{lang-hi| कोंकणदिवा क़िला}}, (transliteration: ''Konkandiva Qilа̄'')is a fort located 70 km from [[Pune]] in [[Maharashtra]]. This fort is on the boundary of Raigad and Pune district. The fort was important as a surveillance fort to keep watch on the possible attack on the [[Raigad fort]] through Ghol Village side along the Mutha river.<ref name="abmra">{{cite web|url=http://web1.abmra.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1574|website=web1.abmra.in|title=Konkan Diva Fort Trek Near Pune|accessdate=2018-12-09}}</ref>

==How to reach==
There are two routes to reach the fort. The route from Konkan region is tough and the nearest town is [[Mahad]] which is 61  km from [[Mumbai]]. The base village of the fort is Sandoshi which is 32  km from Mahad. There are good hotels at Mahad. The trekking path passes through the kavlya ghat hillock north of the Sandoshi. The second route starts from Village Gajarewadi which is near Ghol in Pune district. This route is very safe and wide. Both the routes meet at a col on the northern side of the fort. The trek path is then steep and requires efforts to climb in rainy season.<ref name="trekshitiz">{{cite web|url=http://trekshitiz.com/trekshitiz/Ei/Kokandiwa-Trek-Raigad-District.html|website=trekshitiz.com|title=Kokandiwa, Raigad District, Western Ghats, India, Adventure, Trekking|accessdate=2018-12-09}}</ref> The villagers from the local village Gajrewadi make night stay and food arrangements at a reasonable cost.

==Places to see==
There is a cave and a few rock-cut water cisterns on the fort to be seen.
