Ankai Fort is a historic site found in the Satmala Range hills in western India.[1][2] It is located in Yeola Taluka of Nashik district in the state of Maharashtra. The fort was built by Yadava of Devgiri. Geographically, it is near Manmad. The Ankai fort and Tankai fort are two different forts on adjacent hills. A common fortification is constructed to secure both. The Ankai fort is located on a hill with perpendicular scarps on all the sides, except for a narrow nose on the eastern side.
