Jangali Jayagad, Military fort in Satara district, India

The fort stands at an elevation of 965 meters on a hilly spur extending from the main ridge of Sahyadri mountain range.

The fortification served as a strategic watchtower during the Maratha period, protecting the surrounding territories from potential invasions and conflicts.

The remains of a Devi temple and water well within the fort walls reflect the religious and architectural practices of Maharashtra's historical settlements.

Visitors need to obtain permission from the forest office in Koyananagar and hire authorized guides from Nawja village for the trek.

The fort trails display regular signs of Indian Gaur movement, with visible hoof marks and animal paths through the dense forest environment.
