Trek Routes
The trek starts from behind the temple in the village of Dehari. The path staarts ascending gradually as soon as the we start walking on it. The path is surrounded by thick vegetation from all sides. This path will lead us to a small clearing. After climbing precariously along this path for around 15-20 minutes, we reach another clearing. Omce this clearing is in sight, a slight trek downwards leads us to the base of the fort. From this point, we keep walking till we come across a signboard which has on its display the details of the trek. We now take the path going up from the signboard. This trail eventually gives way to rock-cut steps which lead up to the peak of the fort.
