This winter we visited Alibaug which is about 100 km from Mumbai. One of the key attraction is to visit Janjira fort (50km from Alibaug). This fort is built on sea and surrounded all sides by sea. Yet it is still standing tall. Even 500 years back they had the technology to escape below the sea using tunnel and it is wonder how could they manage to get source of sweet water (it can not be rain water) underground amidst sea. There is also a 500 year old large gun which is kept under open sky for so long, but it is not even rusted yet. During summer when temperature rise to about 40 degree C, this iron gun still feels much cool when you touch it. One must spend a weekend to witness this wonder fort.
