Achala Fort, Hill fort in Nashik district, India.
Located 800 feet above sea level in the Satmala hill range, Achala Fort stands as a compact fortification with stone walls and water cisterns.
In 1636, General Shaista Khan dispatched Alivardikhan to capture the fort from Adilshah, marking the beginning of Mughal control in the region.
The fort houses an ancient temple and contains a notable seven-foot-tall hero stone painted in traditional orange, representing local military achievements.
The trek to reach Achala Fort begins at Dagad Pimpri village and involves a challenging two-and-a-half-hour climb across medium-grade rock formations.
The fort forms a strategic trio with Ahivant and Mohandar forts, serving as a watchtower to protect the larger Ahivant fortification.
