Aundha Fort

The Aundha Fort, sometimes called Avandha Killa, is located 4,270 feet above sea level on the boundary of the Maharashtra districts of Nashik and Ahmednagar. Being a part of the eastern Kalsubai mountain range, its prominent elevation and wonderful views made it a prime location for a watchpost. This fort can be reached by hiking from Patta Fort, climbing from Aundhewadi village, or driving along the Konkanwadi windmill path.

Here, you can encounter steep cliffs, a small temple, a tiger statue, rock-cut steps, and other caves built into the mountainside as you climb. On the last stretch, you can spot iron chains fastened to the rock being used to go up a steep cone. At the top, you can see the broken remains of stone walls, gates, homes, and several big water cisterns.

See Patta, Bitangad, Alang, Madan, Kulang, and the faraway Kalsubai peak from the side of the fort, making it one of the most famous forts in Maharashtra

 for both hikers and people who are interested in history.
