The Sahyadri range which runs from Nashik along with its sub ranges, becomes smaller and smaller as it continues towards the East. The height and spread, both goes on decreasing and so does the diffi culty level. Amongst these small forts is Dundhagad. Karhegad, Ajmer and Bistha are its neighbours.Starting from the base village one sees a valley, to the right of which is Dundhagad. The pathway takes one to the stone carved steps,35 in number. Even if the climb is easy there are many thorny bushes in the way. Below one tree is a North facing temple of Lord Shiva.There is a water tank nearby but it is dry. There are total of fi ve water tanks on the fort. If one traverses on the line connecting theses five water tanks, the complete fort is travelled. The pathway throughout the journey is prominently noticeable and so there are no chances of getting lost. After covering some distance is a neat and clean Ashram where the Sadhus stay. While wandering on the fort, fortifi cation is visible at few places. The entire region is very pleasant. If the skies are clear, Salher–Mulher and Mangi–Tungi are beautifully visible. There isa sugar factory near Dundhagad at Ravalgaon.
