Inside the fort are memorials of Tanaji, the Kaundinyeshwar temple, and old military structures. The fort also has natural defenses with steep cliffs and strong gateways like Pune Darwaza and Kalyan Darwaza. Today, Sinhagad is a popular trekking spot and picnic destination with scenic views and historic importance.
