Janjira is a colloquial and a more localized form of the Arabic word Jazeera that means island. The origin of this majestic fort can be traced down to the fifteenth century when some local fishermen of Rajapuri constructed a small wooden fort on a huge rock to protect themselves and their families from the pirates.
Janjira, a fort surrounded by the sea, is still standing in Raigad district. Janjira Fort is surrounded by the Arabian Sea. And there is a village called Murud near this fort, hence this fort is called Murud-Janjira.
Murud is very well connected via roads. There are regular buses from Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai. If you are a budget travel this is a very decent option
