'''Padargad''' ({{lang-mr|'''पदरगड'''}}) is a small [[fort]] used for vigilance in the past. is situated to the east of [[Karjat]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Maharashtra]]. It is on the Bhimashanker trek route in the Karjat area, because of its height and difficult climbing, it is not visited by most of the trekkers.

==History==

Little history is known about the fort. The locals say that it is not a fort but a sort of lighthouse from where the directions were given to know the advancements of the enemy through the Ganapati Ghat road. It can be called a [[watch tower]] to keep a vigil on the [[Maval|Mawal]] area in the greater province of the Maratha. Records say that this fort along with [[Tung Fort|Tungi fort]] was constructed by [[Aurangjeb]] while capturing the [[Kothaligad]] Fort.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://trekshitiz.com/trekshitiz/marathi/Padargad-Trek-P-Alpha.html|title=Padargad, Sahyadri, Shivaji, Trekking, Marathi, Maharastra|website=trekshitiz.com}}</ref>

==How to reach==
The base village is Khandas which is 31 km from [[Karjat]]. Karjat is well connected by road and railway from [[Mumbai]] and [[Pune]]

==Trekking path==
The starting point for the trek is Khandas village. The path to the Ganpati ghat leads to the small hamlet Padarwadi. From Padarwadi a narrow path to the south leads to the pinnacle of Padargad. The climb is somewhat difficult and only professional trekkers with proper equipment attempt the climb. The narrow climbing path to the top of the fort is locally called chimney.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://huntforspot.com/padargad-trek-fort-history/|title=Padargad Trek - Fort History - Trekking Routes From Karjat|date=17 November 2016}}</ref>

==Places to visit==
There is a large cave and few dried up water cut cisterns on the fort. The narrow pinnacle is called Kalavantins pinnacle.
