Chauler Fort is a small fort located 100km (100miles) north of Nashik, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. This fort can be visited in a day from Nashik. The nearest town is Satana.
The history is similar to the Salher and Mulher forts. The fort was ruled by King Gawali.[1] This fort was under the control of Maratha empire until it was captured by British forces in 1818.
The fort is located on a high tableland with escarpments on all the sides. There is a statue of Chauranganath on the fort, whose village fair is held every year on Pithuri Amavasya which comes in August every year. There are three entrance gates and 4 rock cut water tanks on the fort. The gates are good example of marvelous architecture. The interior building and the fortification is lying in ruins [2]
