The diameter of the base of the fort was about 40 km (25 mi) which made it difficult to lay siege on it, which added to its strategic value.

The fort's ruins consist of palaces, water cisterns, and caves.

This fort was built on a hill called Murumbadevi Dongar (mountain of the goddess Murumba).

Rajgad boasts of the highest number of days stayed by Shivaji on any fort.

Villagers from the foothills of Rajgad sell local antiques and items to these tourists.
