Bahula fort is located in the Igatpuri taluka of Nashik district. It is located on the ancient trade route passing through Thal ghat. The fort is located near village Gulane.[1]
The village Gaulane is located 37km from Igatpuri. Igatpuri is located on Mumbai-Nashik Railway route as well as National Highway NH 160. The fort is about 4km from the base village. It takes about one hour to reach the scarp of the hill. There are 70 rock cut steps which encircle the hill and lead to the top of the fort. There are few ruins of buildings and a water cistern at the top.[2]
