Bhimgad Wildlife Sanctuary.
This section of Bhimgad that lies in Karnataka reflects the bewildering complexity in plant, animal and bird life. It represents an area having a unique ecosystem that has significant biological and ecological importance. The region has numerous endemic plants and animals and also provides a critically important tiger corridor between Karnataka and Goa.
The sanctuary, with beautiful mosaic of woodlands and grass lands, is home to tigers, leopards, gaur, sloth bears, sambar, spotted deer, chitals, foxes, wild dogs, king cobras elephants, and other threatened species of mammals, birds and reptiles.
This sanctuary is also home to critically endangered Wroughton's Free-tailed Bat
Bhimgad Fort

We will also be visiting the less know fort build by Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharj in Karnataka, The Bhimgad Fort.
Near the end of 1676, Shivaji Maharaj besieged Belgaum and Vayem Rayim in current day northern Karnataka. From here he launched a wave of conquests in southern India with a massive force of 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. Bhimgad was one of the forts that Shivaji Maharaj still held when he died in 1680.
In 1719, the fort was included with the 16 districts given to Chattrapati Shahu Maharaj, at the beginning of his own rule. About 1787, the fort was overtaken by the Nesagari chief but it was soon retaken. In 1820 it was observed by the British and in 1844 it was occupied by them to guard against insurgents who threatened Belgaum.
