Built by the Gond king, Madansahi in 1116 atop a rocky hill, Madan Mahal Fort in Jabalpur is a testament to the region's history. While not extensive in size, the fort's location offers panoramic views of the town and the surrounding countryside. The fort's architecture is of simplistic design, primarily used as a military outpost with a small reservoir and a stable. The main attraction is the balancing rock, a geological feature perched precariously nearby. The site bears significance for its historical and archeological importance; the fort is believed to have been a watchtower and assumed military significance due to its strategic position. The area is surrounded by scenic landscapes making it a popular spot for local expeditions and sightseeing. The rugged pathways leading to the fort are an adventurer's delight, emphasizing the fort's resistance to easy accessibility and providing an ideal vantage point for surveying the lands below during its prime.

Worth climbing 205 stairs

The heat was killing and it is a climb of 205 stairs. But the whole look of the fort was just too good. Not one soul was there due to the heat , and we had the place to ourselves.
