KALDURG.

Kaldurg is a ruined stronghold 1547 feet high [Taylor's Sailing Directory, 371.] in the villages of Varkute and Navli, eight miles north-east of Mahim. In 1862, though the defences were almost entirely ruined, it was deemed advisable to destroy the water supply in case the place might come into the hands of robbers or outlaws. [Government List of Civil Forts, 1862.] Its grand rock overhangs the Chahad pass, which has lately been opened at a cost of £1800 Rs. 18,000), and is a conspicuous object from the Palghar railway station four miles to the north-east.
