Betul Fort

A walk through a small traditional village at the mouth of the river Sal meeting the ocean, in the coastal town of Betul, one gets a peek into a the fast dilapidating Betul Fort.Though private initiative of heritage lovers has helped to retrieve it a bit from complete obscurity,the historic 17th century Betul Fort, said to be built by an associate of Shivaji,still faces oblivion due to neglect. The view from the fort bastion on the southern bank of River Sal is panoramic. The river empties into the Arabian Sea and the scene extends from the tip of Mobor beach in the north to the village of Betul in the east along the extensive bay below the range of hills.
