Ankai Fort
Ankai Fort is an ancient hill fort located in Yeola Taluka of Nashik district, Maharashtra, near Manmad. It is part of a twin fort complex with Tankai Fort situated on adjacent hills connected by common fortifications.
The fort, built around 1,000 years ago by the Yadava dynasty of Devgiri, rests on a hill with steep cliffs, making it naturally defensible. The site features ancient Jain caves with well-preserved idols, Hindu caves with carvings of Jai and Vijay, rock-cut water cisterns, and the ruins of a palace and temples. Historically, it was captured by Mughal forces in the 17th century and later taken over by the Marathas and British.
The fort offers a trekking route from the village of Ankai, with well-maintained steps and viewpoints highlighting panoramic views of surrounding hills and valleys. It is known for its rich cultural heritage, ancient rock-cut architecture, and scenic beauty.
