Currently the forts is in a state of ruins and is frequently by wild animals that live in the vicinity like panthers and boars. Several monuments of historical importance are also present in the area.
Manikgad was built by the last Mana Naga King - Gahilu. The Mana Nagas settled in this area around 9 CE. Initially, the fort was named Manikagad after the patron deity of the Mana Nagas - Manikadevi - but later on this got shortened to Manikgad. The fort is built of large black stones and it would have been a formidable fort in its time. Rampart walls of the fort enclose a valley which has ruins of old buildings and store-houses. Outlines of some apartments are visible against the rampart walls. The southern bastion along with its supporting wall has collapsed. In the valley below lies a cannon which likely was mounted on that bastion. Unlike a cast iron cannon, this cannon made of several iron straps welded together. The gateway of the fort is still intact.

The rock cut steps while ascending depicts the ancientness of the fort. We reach a dug out cave after climbing these steps. There are no remains on the fort apart from 2 water tanks cut in stone which have potable water till January. It takes around 30 minutes to visit the entire fort. Vadap village is 5 kms from Karjat from where Gaurkamat village is further 1 km. There are two ways to reach the fort. One route starts from Gaurkamat village trailing on the mountain trunk and further to the fort. Another route from the village leads to a waterfall patch from where we have to take the unpaved path towards right which leads to electric poles. Keeping the fort to our left, the walking trail alongside the poles reaches the narrow pass/valley of the fort in 15 minutes. From here, the route to the right goes to Dhaak while the left goes to Bhivgad in 10 minutes.
The credit for establishing Chandrapur also goes to Khandakya Ballalshah.

The fort had at its four cardinal points four impressive gates. The original buildings have vanished, but the gates and a portion of the wall still exists. Chandrapur was annexed by Raghuji Bhosale of Nagpur in the middle of the 18th century. Finally the fort was captured by the Britishers in 1818 AD. Now an industrial town, Chandrapur is also famous for it s old Mahakali temple.
