'''Kavnai Fort''' is located in a [[hillock]], north of Kavanai village in [[Igatpuri]] Taluka of the [[Nashik]] district in the Indian state of [[Maharashtra]]. The main gate and a small pond are the only remaining structures. <br />
<br />
== Geography ==<br />
Kavanai village is connected by a road to [[Igatpuri]]. Igatpuri is located 18 kilometers away. Kapilatirth is located near the Kavnai village. <br />
<br />
The ascent to the fort follows a ridge that starts from Kavanai. The final ascent is vertical, with poor rock-cut steps crossed by a ladder. <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The fort was built by [[Mughal Empire|Moghul]]s. It was ceded to Peshvas by [[Nizam of Hyderabad|Nizam]] under the terms of the treaty after the [[Battle of Udgir]] (1760). This fort, along with Tringalwadi and fifteen others were captured by the British army under the leadership of Col.
