'''Bhorgiri Fort''' is a fort in [[Pune district]] near to [[Bhimashankar]] in the Indian state of [[Maharashtra]].<br />
<br />

The fort is located about 95&nbsp;km from [[Pune]]. The nearest town is [[Rajgurunagar (Khed)]]. This fort is also about 45km west of the Rajgurunagar town on a small hill detached from the [[Bhimashankar]] Hill. The fort is situated near the village Bhorgiri. The fort hill is flanked on both sides by [[Bhima river]] and a small tributary of the Bhima river.<br />
<br />

There are many caves and [[shiva lingam]]s on the fort. The structures on the fort are now shrub-covered ruins.

<br />
==History==<br />
