Bharatgad, State Protected Fort in Sindhudurg district, Maharashtra, India.

The fort spans across 4 acres of land covered with mango orchards, rising 225 feet above the southern bank of Gad river.

The Wadikar Phonda Sawant constructed Bharatgad Fort in 1680, which later came under British control when Captain Hutchinson captured it in 1818.

The fort contains a Mahapurush temple within its central structure, alongside essential military facilities like grain storage and gunpowder rooms.

Travelers can reach the fort from Malvan town, which serves as the primary base for expeditions and offers accommodation facilities.

A 200-foot deep water tank at the fort features a carved door at its bottom, reportedly connecting to Sindhudurg Fort through an underground passage.
