The fort’s Northern bastion is in pretty good condition even today. There are a few cisterns and remnants of old buildings near this bastion. From this point, enjoy the stunning views of nearby places such as Naneghat, Harishchandragad, Nimgiri Fort, Hadsar Fort, Chavand and Ratangad Forts. In addition, you will also be able to clearly see the entire Junnar plateau, the Manikdoh Dam and the full stretch of the Naneghat route.
To the west, its walls drop a sheer 1000m into the Konkan.

One of Jivdhan Fort’s highlights is the breath-taking view it offers of the “Vanar Lingi”, popularly known as “Khada Parsi” pinnacle. The pinnacle looks small from afar but starts appearing bigger as you get closer to the top of the fort. Only when you reach the top of the fort, can you fully gauge the real magnitude of the approximately 430-feet-high pinnacle!

Jivdhan Fort dates back to the Satvaahan era. It has been a significant fort throughout history due to its proximity to the historic Naneghat caves. Jivdhan Fort acted as a protector of the important Naneghat trade route (toll collection point), which connected the sea to the mainland. Over time Jivdhan Fort was controlled by several rulers including the Bahamanis, the Nizam, the Mughals and the Marathas. In 1818, Jivdhan was captured by the British, who destroyed all approaches leading to the fort.

We visit & explore the various parts of forts & other remnants. Also, we enjoy the views of the surrounding from the top of the Jivdhan Fort. Later we start descending the fort via the “Junnar Darwaja” route & then we visit the very old “Naneghat caves”.

Our trip concludes with very hot & delicious local food. After having a meal we will travel to Pune with happy memories & non-biodegradable waste.

Reach Pune and it’s time now to say goodbye to our travel companions. Let’s stay in touch with each other through Phone, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and meet again on yet another memorable trip. See you all!
