Wonderful experience. Small but decent trek for kid's or Elder people. Approximately 10km from junnar towards Nane ghat. We enjoyed the trek a lot. Surely recommend for Everyone.

Beautiful place to visit. It's small Trek, you can plan other spot also along with this. Difficulty level is easy, only on patch near to top is little bit difficult but railings are there for support. You can see Temple, Saptkund, Grain storage place etc on fort.

Very beautiful fort.. trek is easy.

Small 45 minute hike with newly made stairs till halfway and ancient rock cut stairs supported by railings further till the top. Difficulty level medium and endurance level easy. There are many things to see on the fort including, Pushkarni with Shankar mandir, Saptmatrika(Group of 7 interconnected water tanks), ancient rock cut caves, Chavanda Devi Mandir, Sadar, one cannon, and many other things. The caves can easily accomodate around 20 people and it remains dry even during peak monsoon. Beware of monkeys.
