Although the forts are not too high, they have strong fortifications. The Fort of Ankai has several entrances. There is one more Hindu Cave on the way. It is believed that the forts were constructed during the era of Yadavas of Devigiri. The fort was an important station as it is based on trade route of Surat to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad in olden times). The Marathas ruled this fort from 1752 to 1818 AD. After 1818 AD British controlled the fort.
At the foot of the Tankai fort are old Buddhist caves accessible by a set of stairs. Magnificent wall sculptures, intricate carvings on the pillars and roof, a double cave featuring a gallery, and a temple within the cave are all worth exploring and are a photographer's dream come true. a massive cave beneath the peak that is currently an Ashram or Agatsya temple. A stunning view of the surrounds, Gorakshnath, Tankai Fort, Hadbi Chi Shendi, and the Chandvad range can be seen from the summit.
