The fort is at Ghatghar with a prominent isolated pillar of 60 m high, known as Vanar lingi. The fort walls near the pillar drop a sheer 1000 m into the Konkan. The path to top of fort is blown off, but has many foot and finger holds artificially made. Top has five water cisterns, some Mohammedan constructions and a commanding view.





Nane ghat (830 m) : This sheer cliff is a well known landmark, very clearly visible from the Konkan. The walls of this pass jut out from the main range and hence command a magnificent view of the great bend in the Sahyadris. To the north one can see Kalsubai, to the south Bhimashankar, to the north east is Harichandragad, shattered pinnacles of Konkan. The great comb like rock of Chanderi and the pinnacles of Haji Malang are also visible.

This is a pass, which, once in history, enjoyed prime importance. At Nane ghat the inscriptions, the steps, the rock cut rest houses and the cisterns show that as far back as 1st century BC, this route was frequently used. Even now, it carries heavy trade traffic. From Ghar ghar, an unmettaled road leads to Nane ghat pass (6 km, one hour by walk). Nice views of Jivdhan fort and Vanar lingi (recently climbed by rock climbers). From Nane ghat one can climb down to Vaishakhare on Malshej road (14 km).

Location : Junnar is 90 km from Pune. Ghatghar is 23 km from Junnar on the Ajnawle road.
