'''Dermal Fort ''' ({{lang-mr|डेरमाळ किल्ला}}, {{lang-hi|डेरमाल क़िला}}, transliteration: ''Dermal Qilа̄'')is a fort located {{convert|125|mi|km|abbr=on}} from [[Nashik]], in the [[Nashik district]] of [[Maharashtra]], India. Though this fort is an important fort in [[Nashik district]], it is less visited by trekkers. In [[Satana, India|Satana]] taluka, there are four forts in a line on the Galna hill range, the [[Pisola fort]], Dermal fort, [[Kankrala]] fort and [[Galna]] fort. This fort is easy to climb but requires two hour to reach the fort. There are very few remains of old buildings on the fort.<br />
<br />
==How to reach==<br />
The nearest town is Nampur which is 110km from [[Nashik]]. The base village of the fort is Tinghari which is 12km from [[Nampur]]. There are good hotels at Nampur or [[Taharabad]], and now tea and snacks are also available in small hotels at Nampur. The trekking path starts from the East of the village. The route is very safe and passes through open plateau. There is no marked path which leads to the fort, so it is advisable to hire a local guide from the village. It takes about one and half hour to reach the scarp of the fort. The other route starts from village Bilpuri. There is plenty of water available on the fort.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Trekshitiz |title=Dermal Fort |url=http://trekshitiz.com/marathi/Dermal-Trek-D-Alpha.html |website=www.trekshitiz.com |publisher=trekshitiz |accessdate=24 March 2020}}</ref> <br />
<br />
==Places to see==<br />
The only structure in good condition is a small gate and few water cisterns on the fort. It takes about one hour to visit all places on the fort. There are stone cut carvings of lord Ganesh and Maruti on the fort. There is a cave wherein 7-8 trekkers can make a night halt.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Joshi |first1=Sandesh |title=DERMAL FORT IN NASHIK |url=https://forttrekkers.com/dermal-fort-nashik.html |website=forttrekkers.com |publisher=Fort trekkers |accessdate=24 March 2020}}</ref> <br />
