Kothaligad is more commonly known as the fort of Peth because the village of Peth is
situated at its base. The pinnacle of the Peth can be seen from the village. On reaching the
top of the fort, we see caves carved in huge rocks. Along the Bhairoba cave, steps are
carved leading the pinnacle. Small water tanks and some cannon balls are scattered on
the fort. The first one is the cave of Goddess, besides which is a water cistern and the last
one is the specious Bhairoba cave. A flat floor and well-sculpted pillars are the specialty of
the cave. During monsoon, you can see many beautiful waterfalls below the fort. The fort
looks like an inverted funnel, it is also known as funnel hill. Kothaligad Fort is famous for
its night trek during winter and summer months. During fireflies season one can also
spot fireflies near the fort.
