Secret Tunnels of Murud-Janjira
Murud-Janjira is famous not just for its impregnable walls and strong defense but also for its secret escape tunnels, which played a crucial role in keeping the fort undefeated.
Purpose of the Tunnels

1. Escape Route –

 In case of an enemy siege, the tunnels provided a secret exit for the fort’s rulers and soldiers.

2. Supply Channels –

 The Siddis used these tunnels to bring in food, water, and weapons without being detected.

3. Naval Warfare Strategy –

 Some tunnels led to hidden docks, allowing their navy to launch surprise attacks on enemy ships.

Known Tunnels and Their Mystery

One main tunnel is believed to connect Murud-Janjira to the mainland, possibly to Rajapuri village or nearby caves.
Local legends suggest a tunnel extending all the way to Revdanda (near Alibaug), about 50 km away, but this has not been confirmed.
Many tunnels are now blocked or submerged, making exploration difficult.

Current Status

The exact locations of most tunnels remain unknown, as centuries of erosion and neglect have hidden or collapsed them.
Some visible tunnel openings inside the fort suggest underground pathways, but they are unsafe for entry.
Archaeologists and historians continue to study these tunnels, but there is no official confirmation of where they lead.

Fascination for Tourists


While visiting Murud-Janjira, tourists often hear stories about these tunnels from local guides. However, due to safety concerns, visitors are not allowed to explore them. The mystery of these tunnels adds to the fort’s legendary status as an unconquered fortress.
