Patnadevi-An unexplored historical place : Part 1
Kanhergad (Chalisgaon)
In the backdrop of Hemadpanthi mahadeo temple , you
will find Kanhergad. The route starts besides the temple(keeping temple at
right side). Follow the well trodden route and after 3-4 minutes walk, you
should get Umbrella covered Samadhi built with cement. Start ascending route
till it reached to first cave Nagarjuna cave. It is beautifully carved cave
with statue of Bhagvan Mahavir. Continue the route and after 5 minutes you will
reach to Sita nhani cave.

Follow the further route and after 10 minutes you will
reach to rock patch of Kanhergad. Before
ascending it, just follow the route which traverses further which will lead you
to the Shrungar Chavadi cave. Due to time restrictions, I was unable to see
that cave. Rock patch is not difficult. You will have enough grips to reach at
the top. But for the safe side, I would propose to carry rope(30ft is
sufficient). There is very few structures remained on the fort like water
tanks, fort walls at some places, Fort entrance(West side). You will get some
amazing views of Gautala sanctuary from the top.
