Type: Land fort
District : Nanded
Route: Nanded - Loha - Kandhar (42 kms)
After visiting Nanded fort we started for Kandhar fort located about 42 odd kms from Nanded. We stopped in between at Loha to have "Dahi che Dhapate" which is similar to "Thali Peeth" or Paratha. After a filling breakfast we continued onwards to Kandhar fort.
We came to Kandhar and went to the fort only to know that the fort is closed by ASI and does not open until 10am on Sundays. It was 8.50am and we didnt want to waste time as we had to cover 2 more forts and continue ahead to Pune so we just went upto the entrance door, took some photos. Went round the fort outside and returned back.
There is no recorded history of Kandhar fort but it was ruled by the Nizam of Hyderabad during his rule.
