AMBAGAD RANGE
Ambagad Range, is a picturesque low range of hills forming an outlier of the Satpudas, which enters Bhandara on the west, and
trending in a north-easterly direction cuts off the valley of the Bavanthadi river from the rest of the district. Soon after entering Bhandara the ridge is crowned by the Ambagad fort, while further east the village and the ruined fortress of Chandpur stand on a fine bluff overlooking the confluence of the Wainganga and the Bavanthadi. Although of low elevation, the range is remarkable for the beauty and ruggedness of its scenery. At its western extremity in the Nagpur district is the Ram Tekdi adorned by the well-known group of Ramtek temples. Throughout the range basaltic and trappean formations predominate. |
