Ghangad, Military fort in Pune district, India

The fort rises to 2565 feet on the western side of the Mulshi River, featuring rock-cut caves and water cisterns throughout its structure.

Originally controlled by Koli Samant, the fort passed through Adilshah dynasty before becoming part of the Maratha empire until British forces captured it in 1818.

Near the entrance, a sacred space contains an idol of goddess Waghjai, positioned beneath a large rock formation with water sources nearby.

The trek starts from Ekole village, following a wide path through dense forest, requiring approximately 30 minutes to reach the entrance gate.

The fort contains multiple rock-cut caves, with some storing water year-round and others providing camping space for groups of visitors.
