Kajligarh Fort, Indore

Indore has so much to offer as the largest industrial capital of Madhya Pradesh to the business people. Indore also has the greatest connoisseurs of Art, Music and of course Food. Indore offers some historic significance mainly related to the Holkar dynasty of Ahilyabai Holkar fame. One of the lesser known historic places near Indore is Kajligarh Fort. It is located about 20 km outside Indore towards Khandwa on Khandwa road. Kajligarh fort is on a hill and is situated near a beautiful valley containing a small waterfall. It is best after rains because of the greenery followed by it.

I have been to this place many times long back when it was only an hour or so drive for me, and so I have built memories around it. It is a must go if you like old forts and have an appetite for valley covered hilltop areas like I do. Also, there is a Hanuman temple inside the fort, which you can go to. Kajligarh fort is small and most of it is actually drivable and pretty beautiful.
