Dermal Fort

Dermal Fort stands within the Galna hill range, featuring stone walls, bastions, and ancient water cisterns carved into the rock formations.

The fort served as a strategic military outpost during the Maratha Empire, protecting trade routes and providing surveillance across the surrounding territories.

Stone carvings of Lord Ganesh, Maruti, and Nandi Bull found at the fort reflect the religious and artistic elements of Maharashtra's heritage.

The trek to reach Dermal Fort begins from Tinghari village and requires approximately two hours of climbing through an open plateau terrain.

A spacious cave within the fort provides shelter for seven to eight people, making it suitable for overnight stays during exploration.
