Dategad Fort is a small fort located 75 kilometres (47 mi) South of Satara, in the Maharashtra state of India. This fort can be visited in a day from Satara. The nearest town is Patan. The base village is Tolewadi from where an easy trek of 45 minutes leads to the entrance of the fort.
The Patankars were the Deshmukhs under the Marathas of the whole surrounding district and had charge of Dategad fort.[citation needed] The fort was under the control of Maratha dynasty before the fort was taken into control by Captain Grant in May 1818.[1]
