Grade: Easy
Base Village: Thakurwadi / Dhomse

Region : Pali

The only fort which was considered before Raigad for establishing as the capital of Shiv swarajya, Sudhagad is a gigantic fort with a huuuuuuuge plateau atop. It will take a day to explore the entire circumference of the fort. Tactfully fortified this was one was one of the mightiest and inaccessible fort of the time.

There still exists a spacious Wada of the Pant Sachiv of the Sudhagad region. Its in bad condition due to lack of maintenance. Some maintenance work was initiated last year.

A well built temple of Bhoraidevi is the only place for shelter atop. There is deepmal in front of the temple. Few remnants of Tulsi Vrundawan lay in the vicinity.

The main attraction on this fort is the Mahadarwaja at Dhomse side which is an exact replica of the Mahadarwaja at Raigad, and still is in good shape.
