A Spiritual Fort
Fort which is known for Swami Ramdas. A small little for near to Satara town. Vehicle can go upto halfway. Need to climb few steps to reach the main entrance. You get to see various belongings of Swami Ramdas, his Samadhi. The views from the fort are stunning, especially in monsoon. If you reach between 12noon to 1:30pm, the samadhi trust distributes prasad as well.
