History of Naldurg fort in Osmanabad


One of the Darwaza at Naldurg fort in Osmanabad
There are plenty of monuments on the fort. The names of which are missing.

It took us more than 2 hours to see it. Then came the rains and we got lost on the fort. We didn't have rain wear for protection either.

The bastions on the fort are huge and offer amazing view of the area around.similar to the bastions at Raigad fort.

One can walk on the broad walls of the fort to see it from the inside and outside. 

For the monuments one has to walk to them and they are far away from each other

They are many water bodies here, not natural but created.
There is a natural lake also, which is currently re worked upon by the govt to plans to make this place a tourist destination. Like Lohgad fort.

There is also a dam built on the lake. The dam is multi purpose and has rooms within them. We didn't go in them as it smelled bad as they were inhabited by bats.

The fortification reminded me of my trip to Sindhudurg, Vijaydurg and Murud Janjira.

The toll ate up most of our money. I hate paying tolls, but for such a good road it was worth paying. We managed to cover 11 places inclusive of everything in 4k.
