Kothaligad is more commonly known as the fort of Peth
because the village of Peth is situated at its base. The pinnacle of
the Peth can be seen from the village. It looks like a filed surface. On
reaching the top of the fort, we see caves carved in huge rocks. The first one is the cave of Goddess, besides which is awater cistern and the last one is the specious Bhairoba cave.A
flat floor and well-sculpted pillars are specialty of the cave. Along
the Bhairoba cave, steps are carved leading the pinnacle.
Four–Five potholes and some cannon balls are scattered in the fort. Kalwawantinicha Mahal, Nagfani, Siddhagad, Malanggad, Chanderi, Prabalgad, Manikgad, and Matheran all these surrounding historical places are visible from top of the fort Peth.
