Javlya Fort, Fort in Nashik district, India

Located in the Ajintha Satmal Hill Range at 4055 feet elevation, Javlya Fort stands alongside its twin structure, Ravlya Fort, on a single hill plateau.

The fort changed hands multiple times, from Mughals in 1636 to Shivaji Maharaj in 1670, before British forces captured it in 1818 and damaged it significantly.

The entrance of the fort features a carved Ganesh idol, reflecting the religious practices and architectural elements of Maharashtra's military structures.

Visitors can reach the base village of Babapur by regular buses from Nashik, with the complete exploration of both forts requiring approximately five hours.

The fort contains rock-cut water cisterns and historical inscriptions near its entrance, demonstrating advanced water management systems of medieval Indian architecture.
