Sindola fort is not well described in many literature books as it may not have witnessed any historical event. Sindola fort is a small fort. Ruins of bastions & couple of water cisterns and idol of ganesha are present on top. Scenery from the top of the fort is just mind blowing. The construction is believed as old as its neighbors Hadasar and Nimgiri around 5th century.
