VISHALGAD FORT

Locally called “Khelna” the Vishalgad Fort was one of the most prominent forts of the Maratha emperors. The Fort is established at a majestic elevation of 3,500 feet above the ground and the views that it extends will just melt your heart away.

The word Vishal means grand and the fort justifies its name. The fort was built in 1058 by Chhatrapati Shivaji and after being passed away to the Deccan rulers, it came back to the Maratha empire. From all the corners it is surrounded by the lush green boundaries and extends a perfect melange of history and nature.
