Fort Vasota (Vyaghragad)

Vasota Fort (also called Vyaghragad) is located in Satara district in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
It was famously defended by Tai Telin a mistress of Pant Pratinidhi a killedar of the fort when he was captured. Vasota fort is attributed to the Kolhapur Shilahara Raja Bhoja II (1178–1193) of Panhala. Vasota always remained with Marathas, Shirkes & Mores in 16th century & then incorporated in Swarajya by Shivaji Maharaj in 1655 during the conquest of Javli. Shivaji Maharaj named the fort "Vyaghragad" (Vyaghra – means tiger), owing to its difficult natural defense. After Shivaji Maharaj, the brave Maratha Bajirao Peshwa carried on the Swarajya mission of ousting the Mughal invaders from our country. In 1818 however, British bombarded the fort with heavy artillery thereby destroying many buildings on Vasota (Chandika mandir, Daru-kothar, etc.) & looted property worth 5 lakhs. Today the fort stands in a dilapidated condition in a thick jungle with remnants of Shree Mahadev mandir, the plinth of a huge "sadar" (discussion place) & spectacular view of Nageshwar peak & Shivsagar lake (Koyna backwaters). It is located about 160 km from Pune, it is a protected natural reserve and a national treasure nest. The blue-green expanse of Koyna backwaters, the evergreen forests of Koyna wildlife sanctuary, hike to Vasota fort hidden in thick jungle, the spectacular view from top of the fort along with the beauty and serenity of the place leaves one spell bound.

Every year en number of tourist
from all the corners of Maharashtra come here  to explore the fort and rich natural beauty of Koyna region. Camp Koyna is taking opportunity to provide services to make their visit more enjoyable and comfortable. We take average 200 trekkers and nature lovers to the fort every year (November to May) in winter and summer season. It remains closed from June to October.
