The fort is visible from quite a long distance as a stone scarp 30–40 feet high rising as a cap on the irregular hill.

The garrison head, Gangaji Vishwasrao Kirdat was killed in the ambush and the fort was captured on 24 April 1674.

In the subsequent year i.e. 1702 this fort was captured by Maratha Army infantry leader Pilaji Gole.

After the fall of Peshwa this fort was captured by British under the detachment sent by Gen. Pritzler on 26 March 1818.

The path starting from the col joining Raireshwar plateau and the Kenjalgad takes about an hour to reach the fort.
