Jivdhan fort & Naneghat

Jivdhan fort has two entrances, Kalyan Darwaja from the Naneghat side and the Junnar Darwaja from the Ghatghar side. The rock-cut steps at Kalyan Darwaja are thrilling to climb. There are few water cisterns, a Jivaidevi temple, and a couple of huge granaries which signifies its importance in the region. At one end there is a very famous rock climbing pinnacle called Vaanarlingi is one of the fascinating points.

Naneghat, known since the Satavaahana period where traders used this route to pass through this Junnar to Konkan region. The thumb-shaped pinnacle visible from the Nagar Kalyan highway is one of the points of interest. Naneghat also has caves to rest, cisterns being a toll gate during anicnwt trade route.
