About

Earlier known as ‘Kondhana’, named after the sage Kaundinya, the Sinhagad Fort holds within it a glorious past and rich history. Perched on an isolated cliff of the Bhuleshwar range in the Sahyadri Mountains, the fort is situated on a hill about 760 metres above ground and was strategically built to provide natural protection owing to its steep slopes. The fort had been a site of many battles including the most notable Battle of Sinhagad in 1670 fought by the brave general of Shivaji Maharaj - Tanaji Malusare. 

You can enter the fort from either of the two entrances - Pune Darwaza or Kalyan Darwaza and witness some of its impressive relics. A visit to the fortress is incomplete without exploring the monoliths of the brave Tanaji and admiring the intricate carvings present on the walls of Kaundinya Eshwar Temple in the fort. The fort played a crucial role in the history of Maharashtra and will leave you amazed by its rich past.
