History :
Tringalwadi has a beautiful fort, the trek to this fort is through lush green grass and a dam. The exact period of construction of this fort is not known, however, one can roughly estimate the fort to be in existence since 10th century. Also no historical details are available to know the period during which it was under control of Marathas, however, during the year 1688; Mughals took control over the fort by perfidy.

Fascinating Spots :
As one approaches this fort through Tringalwadi village at the foothills of the fort, we come across ‘Pandav leni’ caves. These caves are divided into three major areas viz. an outer verandah, ‘Vihar’, the abbey and internal ‘Garbhagriha’. As we trek further one more cave can be seen enroute.

On the top a small hillock can be seen at the foothills of which is a large cave. Trekkers can accommodate in this cave. The fort has many cisterns, few in the cave contain water which is suitable for drinking. These caves are beautifully carved pillars.The path ahead leads to the temple of Lord Shiva.
