Water availability
You must carry your own water supply with you, as there are no sources of fresh water after you leave the base village.
Tips and Tricks
1) The Bhandardara dam and lake can be visited after a trek to the fort. The lake and the dam lie at a mere 6 kilometres drive from the base village.
2)
Food availability
Food is available in the base village. There is a shop put up by a villager at the plateau at the end of the second ladder, which serves homemade snacks and tea to the trekkers.
Accommodation
The accommodation can be arranged in the base village, as the temple of Kalsubai atop the fort can house only three persons at a time. Camping near the Bhandardara dam can be a good idea as well.
Trek Routes
After reaching the base village, we need to move in the direction of the peak till we come across a stream of water. After crossing the stream, we come across a small temple. The route which goes up from behind this temple terminates at the top of the fort. The local villagers have put up three large ladders to make the entire trek easier. After climbing through two ladders, we reach a small plateau and a well adjoining it. The climb through the third ladder from this point is a simple affair from this point. This last ladder takes us to the peak of the fort.
