Bitangad, Hill fort in Nashik district, India
Bitangad rises 4000 feet above sea level in the Western Ghats, featuring rock-cut caves and water cisterns within its mountain structure.
The fort remained under Maratha control until 1688, when Mughal forces captured it and appointed Sardar Shyamsingh to oversee its operations.
The fort complex includes a Hanuman temple at its base village Bitanwadi, reflecting the religious practices of Maharashtra's mountain communities.
Access begins from Taked village, followed by a 30-minute walk and another 30 minutes of steep technical climbing to reach the summit.
The fort serves as a strategic observation point at the border of Nashik and Ahmednagar districts, near the Kalsubai mountain range.
