Indrai Fort

Indrai fort is located around 75 kilometers in Nashik. Built atop the Satmal hill range, it is surrounded by three other forts. It is a colossal structure where one can find several caves, old strongholds, rock-cut water tanks and much more. The fort is very unfrequented by trekkers, although one may surely find local shepherds grazing their flock here. A three-hour climb, considered to be fairly easy, will get you on top without much hassle. Surrendered and later abandoned by the garrison, much of this ancient fort’s past lies shrouded in mystery even today.

What to do

The rock cut steps form a valley which lead to the fort. A rock cut inscription in Persian language is seen on the walls on the entrance. There are many rock cut water cisterns on the fort. The Kacheri, the Mahadev temple and 10 rock cut caves are the places to be seen. It takes about one hour to visit all places on the fort.
