[B]Geography[/B]

 It divides the basins of the Indrayani and Pavna and is situated on a side range of the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahyadris"]Sahyadris[/URL]. The [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visapur_fort"]Visapur fort[/URL] is located on its eastern side. The four large gates of Lohagad are still in good condition and reasonably intact. Historical records show that in the later [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peshwa"]Peshwa[/URL] period, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nana_Phadnavis"]Nana Phadnavis[/URL] (1742-1800 AD) built several structures in the fort such as a big tank and a step-well ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bawali&action=edit&redlink=1"]bawali[/URL]).
 On the west side, there is a long and narrow wall-like fortified spur called Vinchukata ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathi"]Marathi[/URL] for Scorpion's tail; [I]see picture[/I]) because of its shape. Lohagad has a long history with several dynasties occupying it at different periods of time: [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satavahanas"]Satavahanas[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalukyas"]Chalukyas[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashtrakutas"]Rashtrakutas[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yadavas"]Yadavas[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahamani"]Bahamanis[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nizamshahis&action=edit&redlink=1"]Nizamshahis[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughals"]Mughals[/URL] and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathas"]Marathas[/URL]. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivaji"]Shivaji[/URL] captured it in 1648 CE, but he was forced to surrender it to the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughals"]Mughals[/URL] in 1665 CE by the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Purandar"]Treaty of Purandar[/URL].

 [B]How to reach the fort[/B]

 From [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai"]Mumbai[/URL], you can take a train to [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonavla"]Lonavla[/URL].

From [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pune"]Pune[/URL], you can take any of these locals.
 From [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Malawli&action=edit&redlink=1"]Malawli[/URL] railway station, the fort is just 9 km away. Vehicles can go up to the foot of the hill.
