About Kunjargad
Kunjargad’s distinguishing feature is a tunnel bored clean through the summit rock, big enough to walk through and out the other side. The fort itself is modest but the approach through Akole’s hills is lovely and rarely busy.
What to see and do
- Tunnel running right through the summit rock
- Cave shelters near the top
- Akole valley and Harishchandragad views
- Quiet even at weekends
Part of Sahyadri (Western Ghats).
