|
Igatpuri, being the main station after theThal ghat, can be approached either by rail or road. Catch the 1st bus (at about 8.30 am) for village Bhavli, and then walk for about 2 hours to the base village Kurung wadi. Take some rest and then get ready for a really wonderful 3 hours trek then on. |

| Precaution | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Kurung wadi is the last place for getting
potable water till you reach the top, so get your bottles filled
with water in Kurung wadi itself. Take some rest, for here on you
will have to cover a fairly steep climb for about 3 hours at least!
Just when your feet start talking, you get to see some
wonderfully carved steps in the rock....with a steep wall of rock on
one side and a deep valley on the other side! This patch has to
covered with enough care, for by this time you are very tired and
might just lose your concentration.....So be careful!
During the trek like this just remember one
thing......Nothing is dangerous if you take enough
care!. |

Standing in the front yard of Igatpuri bus stand,
the attractive sierra - dominated by this very fort in the east - is a sight to enjoy! Offering the highest
climb from the base village in the entire Sahyadri ranges, this fort
offers one of the greatest panorama from its top.
