Ghargad, Hill fort in Nashik district, India

Rising to an elevation of 3,156 feet, Ghargad Fort includes two entrance gates, a rock-cut water cistern, and a cave within its structure.

Captain Briggs captured this fort in 1818 following the fall of Trymbakgad, marking the end of Maratha control and beginning of British administration.

The base village of Ghargad Sanghvi maintains traditional connections to the fort through local temples and regular community celebrations.

The trek to reach the fort entrance requires one hour of climbing through narrow paths covered with bushes, starting from a hillock north of Ghargad Sanghvi.

The fort path contains modified sections created by British forces using explosives to alter the original mountain structure.
