Dhodap Fort, Mountain fort in Chandwad, India

The Dhodap Fort rises 1472 meters above sea level in the Satmala mountain range of Maharashtra, featuring steep cliffs and fortified walls.

The fort changed hands from Nizamshahi rulers to Mughal control in 1635, later becoming a strategic Maratha stronghold until British capture in 1818.

Three indigenous tribal settlements within the fort grounds maintain traditional dairy farming practices, passing down generations-old agricultural knowledge.

Visitors can reach the fort through two main routes from Wadali Bhoi or Kalwan, with the ascent from Hatti village taking approximately 90 minutes.

The fort's plateau contains multiple ancient water storage systems carved into caves, alongside temples integrated into the natural rock formations.
