Accommodation
There are caves at the top of the fort, but these are not inhabitable as they are heavily littered. The temple at the base can house around 6-8 people at once.
Water availability
There are water tanks atop the citadel with perennial water supply in them. It is advisable though to carry ample supply of water with you as mouth of the wells remain open all throughout the year.
Trek Routes
The trek begins from the Shiva temple at the base of the fort. After walking in a straight direction from the temple, we come across a seasonal stream which tends to overflow during the monsoon season. After crossing the stream, the trek along a narrow ridge starts. This section culminates in a near perpendicular rock patch which is quite difficult to ascend. A sturdy ladder has been installed by the local villagers to help scale down the difficulty for the trekkers. After the ladder has been scaled, we reach atop a plateau. From here we need to walk till we see a water tank. From the water tank two routes diverge. We need to take the one on the left in order to reach the caves and the temple.
