Kamalgad, also known as Kamalgadh, is a hill fort located in the state of Maharashtra, India. It is situated in the Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats and is a popular destination for trekkers and history enthusiasts. The fort is situated near the town of Wai in the Satara district of Maharashtra.
Kamalgad has historical significance and is believed to have been built during the medieval period by various rulers, including the Marathas and the British. The fort's architecture and design reflect its strategic importance as a defensive structure. The fortification includes walls, bastions, and gateways that were designed to withstand attacks.
One of the distinctive features of Kamalgad is its shape, which resembles a "candle wick" (kandil in Marathi), giving rise to its name. The fort offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and is a popular trekking destination due to its relatively moderate difficulty level. Explore the remnants of the fort's past, including the main entrance, water tanks, and the base of the Kedareshwar temple. The trek to Kamalgad involves traversing through dense forests and rocky terrain, adding to the adventure of the journey.
