About Aad

Aad Fort: Small watch tower guarding trade routes between Sinnar and Igatpuri. Locals estimate construction in the early 1st century. Highlights: Sharabh sculpture in a water tank, old structures. Eastern edge features a cave with a compartment and the only potable water source (accessible via staircase/small rock patch). The fort top is a wide plateau with three water tanks. Trek Info: Easy 30-min trek from Aadwadi village. Note: Windmills are installed in the adjoining area.
