Tips and Tricks
1) Manikdoh Dam is a good place to visit on the way to Hadsar fort.
2)
Food availability
Food is available in the base village of Hadsar. Since the trek is short, a light meal at the beginning would be a good idea.
Accommodation
There are small caves atop the fort, but almost all of them are uninhabitable. Around 6-7 people can be accommodated in the Shiva temple though.
Water availability
Water cisterns are available within the fort, but the water in them is not potable. It is strongly advisable to carry your own water supply with you.
Trek Routes
After reaching the base village, a 10 minute climb takes us to a vast plateau from where the fort is clearly visible. The direction of the climb can be asked from any local villager. We may need to consult a guide from here as the route from this point onward can get a bit confusing. With the help of a guide, we would reach another plateau smaller than the previous one. A traverse must be climbed in order to reach the neat, rock-cut steps leading up to the fort. Once we've reached at the end of the steps, we need to take a left turn. We then come across twin mughal style entrances facing us. As soon as we cross the entrances, we step atop the plateau which is also the top of the fort. The second route begins from the point where a well is situated on tge way to the fort. Local villagers can lead us to the well. We need to walk for another 15 minutes along the left side of the plateau before we come across a narrow path between two small hills. We need to keep walking in a straight direction in order to arrive at the fort .
