Kankrala (Marathi: कंक्राळा) is an ancient hill fort that occupies two hills in the Malegaon taluka of Nashik district.[1]
This fort is situated south of Galna fort. Very little history is known about this fort. It was captured by the British under Colonel Wallace in 1818.
Places to see
There are many rock cut water cisterns on the top of the fort as well as in the rocks near the gate. The water near the gate is potable. There are few caves near the entrance. The entrance is in dilapidated condition. There are no structures on the fort except few ruins.
