  A beautiful mountain trail of Sahyadri runs between Bhor - Mahabaleshwar and conceals 3 to 4 forts within it. One of these forts is the Fort of Rohida, also known as Vichitragad or Binicha Killa. It is situated in the valley of Rohid in the Basin of Neera River about 6 miles south of Bhor. Rohida Fort was the main centre for the villages of Rohid valley. 41 villages, out of original 42, within this Basin now come under Bhor Taluka of Pune. The flourishment of sugar and milk industry in this area has led to the prosperity of villages and are well equipped with electricity supply and have a good road connectivity.
This historic fort is known to be from the period of Yadavas. Carvings on the 3rd entrance gate of the fort suggest that the fort was modified by Mohammad Adil-Shah. It also depicts the conquest of this fort in May 1656. Shivaji Maharaj won the fort from the hands of Bandal-Deshmukh of Rohid in a close battle. The conflict resulted in the death of Krishnaji Bandal. After the battle, many officials along with Bajiprabhu Deshpande, a chief administrator of Bandals, were inducted into Swarajya movement.
As per the infamous ‘Treaty of Purandar’, in 1666, the fort was surrendered to Mughals. Although, on 24th June 1670, Shivaji Maharaj regained the control over this fort.
Kanhoji Angre had the patronage over the whole Bhor area and half of Rohida Fort along with patches of land. The fort holders (Gadkari) of Rohida used to take 30 gold coins (Currency of Hon) as payment. According to the historical records, officials weren’t satisfied with this amount. They questioned against it but Shivaji Maharaj ordered only to persist with the traditional payment because Jedhe were an acolyte to Bhosale family.
Later, Mughals took over the fort but the chief commissioner of Bhor fought with Aurangzeb and won the fort back. Until the post-independence merger of all provinces, Rohida fort remained with the Bhor province (Bhorkar) along with other forts such as Rajgad, Torna, Tung and Tikona.
