Founded by the yadavas of Devagiri.  This fort has a height of 600feet and has around 750 steps to climb on the top of the watchtower. From there we can see the whole daulatabad. This fort was the highest point in this area. There is a watchtower in th foot of this fort and there are also so many cannons preserved here. The view from the watchtower is wonderful.
