Ballarpur Fort, Medieval fort in Chandrapur district, India.

The Ballarpur Fort features rectangular walls constructed with black stones and contains two intact entrance doors positioned at right angles.

King Khandkya Ballal Sah built this defensive structure between 1437 and 1462, later shifting his capital from Sirpur to establish Chandrapur.

The fort stands as a testament to Gond dynasty architecture and military engineering, with its strategic position along the Wardha River.

Visitors can reach the fort via Chandrapur Railway Station, with guided tours available to explore the remaining structures and underground sections.

The fort contains unexplored underground tunnels and a small entrance at the river edge, suggesting complex defensive systems beneath the surface.
