| Location |

 This is a small hill jutted out of the
main range. Simple walk, spacious cave at the base of the pinnacle,
good drinking water makes it a place of visit for many trekkers.
To reach Gorakhgad, take a bus to Murbad. Regular
S.T. service is available for Murbad from Kalyan. From
Murbad then take a bus to Dehari. Two hours climb from
Dehari will take you to the summit. |

| Precaution |
 Reaching the
cave is quite an easy trek. However, if one wishes to go to the top
in the temple, then one will have to be a bit careful covering the
rest patch! It's a thrill......enjoy it! However, it's better not
to try this patch in the monsoon when the rocks are
slippery. |

| Sight Seeing |
 Reaching the top of the Gorakhgad is a nice thrill that one should enjoy, except
in the monsoon! The view around, is
wonderful........Siddhagad in the south-west and Naneghat, Jivdhan, Dhakoba in the east, offers
a nice panorama. |
