Rupgadh Fort, Mountain fort in Dang district, India.

The stone fortification rises 1,670 feet above sea level, requiring visitors to climb 780 feet from the Bhangrapani forest checkpoint to reach its entrance.

Built in 1721 under Pilaji Rao Gaikwad of the Gaikwad dynasty, the fort initially served as part of the state capital at Songadh before relocating to Vadodara.

The fort contains a temple dedicated to Hanuman near its northern water spring, reflecting the religious practices of the local population through generations.

Visitors can access the fort through two routes: from Kalibel village via Popatbari village by vehicle or through Vadirupgadh village in Songadh.

The fortress maintains its original water storage systems and designated spaces for ammunition and food storage, demonstrating advanced military engineering from the 1700s.
