This fort lies exactly on the borders of [[Dhule district|Dhule]] &amp; Nashik District. One side is in [[Sakri]] Taluka &amp; another is in [[Satana, India|Satana]] Taluka. Though this fort is an important fort in [[Nashik district]], it is less visited by trekkers. In [[Satana, India|Satana]] taluka, there are four forts in a line on the Galna hill range, the Pisol fort, Dermal fort, [[Kankrala]] fort and Galna fort. This fort is easy to climb but requires one hour to reach the fort.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Much less history about this fort is known.&lt;ref name=&quot;maharashtra&quot;&gt;{{cite web|url=https://cultural.maharashtra.gov.in/english/gazetteer/Nasik/022%20Places/001%20Place.htm#PisolFort|website=cultural.maharashtra.gov.in|title=cultural.maharashtra.gov.in/english/gazetteer/Nasik/022%20Places/001%20Place.htm#PisolFort|accessdate=2018-04-11}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==How to reach==<br /> The nearest town is [[Satana, India|Satana]] which is 90&amp;nbsp;km from [[Nashik]]. The base village of the fort is Wadi Pisol which is 35&amp;nbsp;km from [[Satana, India|Satana]]. There are good hotels at Nampur or [[Taharabad]], and now tea and snacks are also available in small hotels at Wadi Pisol. The trekking path starts from the hillock west of the village. The route is very safe and passes through dense scrub. There is no marked path which leads to the fort, so it is advisable to hire a local guide from the village. It takes about one hour to reach the scarp of the fort. A narrow path along the small ravine leads to the rock cut steps. The steps pass through a broken arch gate. The entrance gate is nowhere seen. There is plenty of water available on the fort.&lt;ref name=&quot;trekshitiz&quot;&gt;{{cite web|url=http://trekshitiz.com/trekshitiz/marathi/Pisol-Trek-P-Alpha.html|website=trekshitiz.com|title=Pisol, Sahyadri, Shivaji, Trekking, Marathi, Maharastra|accessdate=2018-04-11}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> Also the another nearest town is [[Sakri]], Dist: Dhule. You can easily reach to the base on another side of the fort. <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Places to see==<br /> The only structure in good condition is a small mosque on the western edge of the fort. A night stay at the fort can be made in the caves or mosque on the fort. The rock-cut arch-gate of the pleasure palace of Rang Mahal stands in good condition with all its walls fallen to ruins. There are two rock-cut water cisterns on the scarp near the entrance with rock-cut figures of [[Nandi Bull]] and Lingas. It takes about one hour to visit all places on the fort.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> {{commons category|Pisola Fort}}<br /> * [[List of forts in Maharashtra]]<br /> * [[List of forts in India]]<br /> * [[Marathi people|Marathi People]]<br /> * [[Battles involving the Maratha Empire]]<br /> * [[Maratha Army]]<br /> * [[Maratha titles]]<br /> * [[Military history of India]]<br /> * [[List of people involved in the Maratha Empire]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Forts in Maharashtra}}<br /> {{MarathaEmpire}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Buildings and structures of the Maratha Empire]]<br /> [[Category:Forts in Nashik district]]<br /> [[Category:16th-century forts in India]]</div>
