Ajinkyatara Fort, Mountain fort in Satara district, India
The fort stands at 3,300 feet elevation on Ajinkyatara Mountain, featuring thick defensive walls with bastions and two gates near the northwest corner.
Built in the 16th century by Raja Bhoj, the fort changed hands between Marathas, Mughals, and British forces until its final capture in 1818.
Three temples dedicated to Devi Mangalai, Lord Shankar, and Lord Hanuman occupy the northeast section of the fortification complex.
Visitors can access the fort through a motorable road, with the trek taking approximately two hours from Pune and four hours from Mumbai.
The strategic position of the fort enables clear views of neighboring fortifications including Nandgiri, Chandan-Vandan, Jarandeshwar, and Yawateshwar hills.
