Tandulwadi is not a fully built up fort, but a series of structures spread over the top of the mountain.

The fort dates back 800 years and was primarily used as a watch tower over the surrounding plains.

At a height of 1524 feet, it has views of the surrounding towns of Saphale, the Zanzorli lake, and the confluence of the Surya and Vaitarna rivers.

Upon reaching Varai Phata you have to take a left turn after crossing the bridge over Vaitarna river.

The first known history of the fort was in the 15th century (about 1429) during the rule of Jafar Khan, son of Ahmed Shah of the Gujarat Sultanate.

In 1454, the Sultan of Ahmedabad captured Mahikavati (Mahim) and one of his Sardar named Mallik Allauddin was made chief of Tandulwadi fort.
