Established in the 15th century on a tunnel-shaped high mountain range in Kalyanpura village. Built by the Lodha warriors, Utgir Fort was strategically important and known as the 'key to Gwalior'. In 1506-07 AD, Sikander Lodhi attacked the fort. Raja Arjun Deo acquired the fort and it remained the capital of the Yaduvanshis until Gopal Das built the Bahadurpur Fort. The fort served as an emergency garrison for the Karauli dynasty until the states merged to form Rajasthan.

The fort holds cultural importance due to its association with the Yaduvanshi dynasty and its role in regional history. The presence of a Shivlinga with a 100-foot waterfall creates religious significance at the site.
