Ramsej or Ramshej Fort is a small fort located 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north-west of Nashik, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The fort is located on the Nashik-Vapi route.
In April 1682, Mughal forces under Aurangzeb and led by Shahabuddin Khan attacked the fort at Ramsej which were held by the Marathas.[1][2] A months-long effort to take control of the fort ended in failure, ending in the retreat of the Mughals.[2]
