'''Salota fort''' is a [[hill fort]] in [[Maharashtra]], India. It is located in the [[Baglan taluka|Baglan]] region of [[Nashik]]. It lies close to the [[Salher]] fort.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
No separate history is known about this fort. The fort adjoins [[Salher]] fort. This part of hill was fortified to provide additional protection from the enemy.<br />
<br />
==Places to see==<br />
The fort can be reached after a strenuous climb up the hill. To climb up to the top of the fort require climbing equipment.<br />
<br />
There are three doors in a line which lead to the main part of the fort. There are two rock-cut water cisterns at the fort.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tifr.res.in/~roop/Travels/Salota/|title=SALOTA|website=www.tifr.res.in|access-date=22 January 2018}}</ref><br />
<br />
==How to reach==<br />
The nearest village is Waghambe. A continuous trek from Waghambe lead to the col between the Salota and Salher fort. It is about a 1.5-hour walk from Waghambe.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://yash-gaikwad.blogspot.in/2015/07/nasik-range-trek-day-iv-fort-salher.html|title=Nasik Range trek- Day IV: Fort Salher, Fort Salota|website=yash-gaikwad.Blogspot.in|access-date=22 January 2018}}</ref> A narrow path towards west leads to the Salota. It is better to hire a local guide from the village. There is no place to make a comfortable stay on the fort. Many trekkers prefer to keep their heavy ruck sack at the col and climb the Salota fort first then ascend down, pick up the rucksack and make a night stay on the Salher fort.<br />
