Salher, Mountain fort in Baglan region, Maharashtra, India
Located at coordinates 20°43′20″N 73°56′44″E, Salher Fort stands at 1567 meters, making it the highest fortification in the Sahyadri mountain range of Maharashtra.
The Battle of Salher in 1672 marked a turning point as Maratha forces achieved their first major victory against Mughal armies in an open-field confrontation.
The fort complex includes ancient temples, stone-carved water cisterns, and architectural elements that reflect the military engineering methods of medieval Maharashtra.
The trek to Salher begins from Waghembe village, requiring a full day of hiking through steep terrain with limited water sources until reaching the summit.
Connected to Salota Fort by a mountain ridge, Salher offers extensive views across both Maharashtra and Gujarat from its position as the second-highest peak in the state.
