About the place - 
Shindola Fort was used as a watch tower to keep watch on the ancient route of Malshej Ghat. Water cisterns, Idol of Ganesh and few remains of fortification can be seen on top. Only one of the water cisterns has a potable water. The entire route has no cover of trees and thus no shed. Its ideal to visit in and after monsoon. A magnificent view of Malshej Ghat and surrounding region can be seen from top. Forts like Harishchandragad, Nimgiri, Hadsar, Shivneri, Naneghat, Bhairavgad, Kunjargad can be seen from the top.
