Trek Routes
After crossing the signboard declaring the whereabouts of the Naneghat caves, the first 30 minutes of the trail is a dirt road strewn with rocky patches. We come across two successive streams of water within an hour of the trail, the second stream being voluminous than the first one. We then come across a small dam after having crossed the second stream, from which one more stream emerges. We are confronted by two paths at the beginning of this stream. We must take the one going uphill, surrounded by thick foliage on either sides. We need to keep walking in a straight direction till we come across a set of rock-cut stairs. We must to take this route in order to reach the caves which are located at the top of the fort. Arrow-marks are painted throughout the trail indicating the trek route, thereby making it convenient for the trekkers.
