15 minutes... Enough to see Bhuikot killa...

It is a very peaceful and delightful place. I am just enjoying the fresh air and sounds of water besides the river. The filling is at next level. We have one temple also at above the fort and we have barricades all around the fort.

Thalner fort was built on the banks of river Tapi. This fort which has been a witness to many glorious reigns, currently stands in a sorry condition due to inattentiveness by the locals and government authorities. Thalner was once the capital center for Khandesh region which was an important part route on the Surat-Burhanpur trade route. The famous singer of India Ms. Lata Mangeshkar had her grandparents from Thalner. During 1128 A.D the control of this fort was with Jivaji and Govaji of Gavli or Ahir family. Devgiri’s King, Bajirao’s son Daulatrao awarded the control of this fort to Jivaji and Govaji when he had visited Thalner and noticed that the fort was well maintained while the other 23 forts in the nearby region were in ruins In 1370 A.D. Ferozeshah Tughlak won the area of Khandesh and appointed Malikraja Faruki to administer the region of Gujarat. Thalner was made his capital center. The very next year the Sultan of Gujarat attacked Malikraja and captured his territory and Malikraja took refuge in Thalner fort. After his death in 1497 A.D. the control was passed on to his second son. This went against the will of the first son who then alongwith the support of Sultan of Malwa attacked Thalner and took it under his control in 1417 A.D. In 1418 A.D. the Sultan of Gujarat Mohammed Begada captured Thalner and looted the nearby provinces and in 1511 A.D. he handed over half of Khandesh region to his commander in chief Malik Hasanuddin. He allegedly got murdered the next year. In 1566 A.D. Changez Khan who was the Sultan of Gujarat defeated the King of Khandesh Miran Mohammed. The control of this fort went to Akbar in 1600 A.D. and during this period the fort was prosperous and had vital importance being on the trade route of Surat-Burhanpur. In 1750 A.D. when the Peshwas took over the fort it was handed over to the Holkars and then it was further passed on to the Nimbalkars in 1800 A.D. however the Holkars took it back the very next year. The British General Sir Thomas Hissop encountered a bloody massacre when he went to conquer the fort in 1818 A.D. This conquest is known to be one of the bloodiest conquests in history. Around 250 Maratha and 25 British soldiers were killed in this war.

Thalner is a fortified town close to Dhule city in Maharashtra and is home to many military outposts, the Thalner Fort being of primary significance amongst them due to its strategic location and massive stature.

Thalner is a scenic location on the banks of the Tapi River, the fort built on an elevation to overlook the riverfront from a height. It was the stronghold of Faruqi kings and once a significant hub of trade and commerce during the peak of its glory. The Thalner fort was a brilliant piece of architectural and shrewd military marvel. While it was surrounded by a hollow embanked moat on 3 sides, the fort wall rose from the Tapi River, thereby giving inhabitants safety from attack on 3 sides and the river always open for emergency exit. The only entrance is made available on the eastern side after traversing 5 gates all held together by a genius mechanism whose enclosure would rise up to the height of the main wall. The Thalner fort is open all days, yet tourist are advised to visit there in daylight time due to the difficult terrain.
