Superb feeling for an outing. I'll suggest everyone to visit. Loved it.

Important place of pilgrimage for Upasni Maharaj devotees. The cave on this hill is where Upasni stayed for a purported 9 months with no food or water, when he was 19 years old. Avatar Meher Baba, a disciple of Upasni, also came here twice - once with Upasni and once in 1919 when he fasted in seclusion inside the cave for 40 days and nights. The cave itself is off limits as there is a secured military base on Bhorgad hill. It is not advised to climb to reach the cave. You will probably be arrested by the military if caught on or around the top of the hill. But in the village, at the base, is a mandir dedicated to Upasni which is nice to visit. The base of the hill and surrounds is an excellent place to hike and take in the expansive beauty. The locals there are very friendly and helpful for those who go there with respect and kindness.
