Kujanrgad / Kombad Gad.

Also known as Kujargad/ Kombad Gad.

Arriving at the back of the Harishchandra fort, there are forts of Kalal, Kunjar, Bhairavagad etc. on this hill. The Sanskrit word “kunj” means elephant. It may have been disfellowshipped to “Kujurgad”. From the village of the well, this fort looks like an elephant. This fort is also known as the hen fort. During the monsoon, rain falls in this area. Sometimes the sun does not appear for many days. It should be avoided to visit the forts in these areas when the monsoon is full of grain. But if you only want to see a soaked castle in the rain, there is no fort like Kunjargada. There are many beautiful waterfalls in this area.

Places to visit:

There are 2 ways to reach the fort from the base of this well. It takes less time to reach the fort by the passage through the fort and the hill on its right, and all the ruins on the fort can be seen. As you climb the fort, a path usually turns left at the water’s height. Along the way, one can see two idols placed on the open in dense trees along the way. One of them is from Hanuman and another is called Kaloba. The villagers were keen to move these idols to the village and build a temple, but it is not possible to move them till now, says villagers. It is reported in 1670 BC the Shivaji kings stayed at Kunjergada. The ruins of the fort, the remains of the bowl, the water tank, the shoe of the house can be seen. From the top of the fort the basin of the river Mula is visible. Harishchandragad, Kalad, grandfather, Ghanakakkar, Bhairavgarh and Kalsubai range are also visible. A snake has formed in the inner corner of the cave. In the light of Vijayarandh, one has to carefully fall into this trap. You have to go some distance in the beginning and then sleep and turn left. All the body has to be pulled inside the head through a small hole in the ground. After entering from here, the hole becomes larger. Four to five people can stand at the tip of the hole. Since the hole opens on the edge of the junction, the lower valley and nature look better. There is no accommodation on the fort, but a tent can be made if you have a tent or similar materials. The fort has a water tank and water is available till the end of winter. After seeing these idols one can go to the fort through the dense tree of Karwi on the road next to the saddle, or through the back road, one can go to the fort from the two hills. On the first path, turning the hill completely, we reach the opposite side of the village. On this side comes the road coming from the village of Fofsandi. At the last stage of the fort there are steps dug into the fort to reach the fort. There is a cave half steps up, the feature of this cave is the excavation around the mountain. Therefore, it was possible to monitor the direction of the well and the side of the village at the same time. The cave should be well used in the rainy season and in the cold / hot sun. Seeing this cave, we enter the fort through the ruined entrance by the steps. In front we see the ruins of the ruined architecture. When first moving to the right side, there are 2 water tanks. On this side the plateau on the top of the fort becomes narrower, the distant region from the tip to the nearest point. From here, we come to the entrance and go towards the opposite (left side). Next are the remnants of a large bowl. Behind this bowl is a group of tanks carved in stone. From here, returning to the entrance is complete. From here the path should not go back and go straight up the hill to the fort (on the right). There are 3 natural caves on this mountain. The villagers use this cave to build their livestock.
