Rohida Fort in Bhor Taluka, Pune District, is sanctified by the footsteps of Chhatrapati Shri Shivaji Maharaj, and the fort on which a diamond-like Narveer Baji Prabhu Deshpande was carved for Hindavi Swarajya. 

The fort can be reached by an hour's trek from Bazarwadi village. The fort is also known as Vichitragad. Although the fort is small, there are many things to see. The special feature is the bastion on the fort. Fatte, Shirwale, Damgude, Patne, Waghjai, and Sarja are some of the names of the bastions on the fort. Among them, this photo was taken from Shirvale Bastion. Kenjalgad Fort is easily recognizable due to its distinctive shape when viewed from the south side of the fort from this bastion. Adjacent to this fort is the plateau of Raireshwar, on which the Raireshwar Fort is standing, and at the back is the Kamalgad fort in the Dhom Dam area. Many trekkers also do the Rohida - Raireshwar - Kenjalgad - Kamalgad range trek.

Apart from the bastions, Rohida fort has water tanks, remains of a palace and sadar, three gates, inscriptions, Rohidamall Bhairavnath temple, lime pit, Chor Darwaza, etc.
