Moghul Emperor Shahjahan committed Shaista Khan to win all the forts in the Nashik district, and Cavalier Alivardi Khan won the Achala Killa for Shaista Khan. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj won the fort from Moghuls in the year 1670.<br \/>\nAurangzeb Moghul Emperor assigned his chieftain Mahabat Khan to conquer the Ahivant Fort. Diler Khan, along with Mahabat Khan, began the campaign from both sides of the Avihant Fort. The assault happened extremely fierce that the Ahivant Fort yielded to Moghuls. Achala Fort consequently surrendered to Moghuls. In 1818 Achala Fort was resigned to Colonel Briggs with the other 17 forts following the fall of Trymbak Fort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-3313-0-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">How to reach Achala Fort <\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Achala Fort nearest town is Vani 44 km away from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treksandtrails.org\/collections\/nashik-treks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nashik<\/a>, Vani has good availability of hotels.
