Bhaskargad is also known as Basgad. East of Nashik at the Trimbak range, lies this mesmerising fort. It is also known as Basgadwhich is in the trimbak rang which is near "Trimbakeshwar", known among the 12 "Jyotirlingas" in India. You will also see a beautiful rivulet which you need to cross in order to reach the trail to the fort.
The mountain of Bhaskargad comprises mainly of basalt rock. The steps are cut through the mountain rock and take us through the stone walls towards the main entrance, which is buried under soil now. We have to enter by crawling. Once we reach the cap of the mountain, we can roam about the edge of the fort. We can find some remnants of houses and cisterns on the fort top
