Avandha Fort, Mountain fort in Nashik district, India.

The fortification stands at 4,300 feet elevation within the Sahyadri range, between the cities of Nasik and Ahmadnagar in Maharashtra state.

The Mughal army, led by commander Matabarkhan, captured the fort on January 11, 1688, and appointed Shyamsingh as the fortress chief.

The fort contains rock-hewn water storage systems and stone-cut steps that demonstrate the engineering methods of ancient Indian military architecture.

Visitors need to follow the path from Kadva Colony Naka through either a mountain ridge route or the trail near Hanuman Temple.

From the summit watch post, observers can view the Kadwa Reservoir and neighboring fortifications of Patta, Bitangad, Alang, Madan, and Kulang.
