Well placed beautiful almost monolith hill with amazing multiple rounds of fort on top. Bricks used for fort till date are like a rock hard. Hill top also has quite a few ponds and abandoned mantapas(rooms). It mesmerizing to see the big blocks of rocks stacked on fort build on cliffs. One would wonder how could they lift them up there without the modern earth moving equipment.

The hillfort is also known as Bhasmangi Fort.
