Kothaligad, Ancient fort in Raigad district, India

The fort stands at 3100 feet elevation, featuring a carved internal pinnacle with circular stairs leading to a commanding summit position.

In 1684, Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb authorized Abdul Kadir to capture the fort, renaming it Miftahul Fateh after the successful campaign.

The fort contains multiple stone-carved caves, including the Bhairoba cave with its structured pillars and the cave of Goddess near a water tank.

Visitors can reach the fort through a 6.5-kilometer trek from Ambivali village, with provisions for meals available at the base settlement.

The fort structure incorporates a tunnel-shaped chimney formation that functions as an internal passageway to access the uppermost section.
