Wonderful view from the top. A must visit place. You will have to walk for around 1 km to reach the top. But the view from the top is worth it. Remember to carry a water bottle and an umbrella if the weather is hot, as there are no shops available at the topThere are no fences or barricade on the top, so be careful and don't go to the edge.
The view from the top is awesome. The layer of western ghat is an impressive view. The fresh air make you refreshing.

It was wonderful experience.. We unexpectedly reached this location.. But its really awsome... Only parking fees and timing to be taken care...
High and windy place. Need to hike on a stone laid path, uphill the last 1 km though. Vehicle won't come till the point given on maps. Small ancient temple of archeological interest at the top. Need to be careful on the rocks.

Really a calm and beautiful place to visit. No ticket needed. Parking fee only which is less amount. Visit during morning or evening for a good view.
It's a good short hiking spot. Butwas really noisy from the surrounding areas. The temple committee there made us pay parking fee just to keep our vehicle beside the road. It's scam.
