Conquer the Highest Fort in Maharashtra!

Experience the thrill of trekking to Maharashtra’s highest fort—Salher (5,175 ft)—along with its twin Salota Fort (4,290 ft). These forts are steeped in history and provide breath taking 360° views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

History of Salher & Salota Forts

·       Salher Fort is the highest fort in Maharashtra and the second highest peak in the state after Kalsubai. It is best known for the Battle of Salher (1671-72) between the Marathas and the Mughals. This was the first open-field battle where the Marathas decisively defeated the Mughals, marking a turning point in Indian history.

·       Salota Fort, adjacent to Salher, served as a watchtower for enemy movements. It is less explored, making it an exciting offbeat destination.

·       Legends say that Lord Parshuram performed penance at Salher, adding to the spiritual significance of this place. A temple at the top of the fort stands as a reminder of this legend.
