Bhaskargad Fort, also known as Basgad Fort, is located in the lush greenery of the Trimbak Hill Range at a distance of about 48 km from the centre of Nashik. Situated at an altitude of about 3500 Ft. above sea level. Bhaskargad Fort is said to have been established in the 12th century during the reign of the Yadava kings. However, later on, it was ruled by several other dynasties including the Marathas, the Mughals and the Bahmani Sultanate.
It was also under the rule of the Peshwas and other local tribes for a short period. Today, the fort is lying in ruins and has become a weekend stoppage for trekkers. The top of the fort can be reached by a flight of rock-cut steps.
