About Korigad Trek
Weather:
Time Required:1 day
Food availability
Food is available in the base village of Shahpur. It is advisable to take a light meal before the beginning of the trek as the trek is relatively short.
Water availability
There are two lakes at the top of the fort with enough water in them except during the summer season. We advise you to carry your own water supply with you.
Accommodation
There are caves halfway to the top of the fort which are very much inhabitable. The Koraidevi temple atop the citadel can accommodate around 10 people at a time.
Trek Routes
There are two routes to reach the top of the fort. The first one follows the staircase route. Once we start walking from the base village towards the fort, we have to walk through dense jungles for first 15 minutes of the trail. We then reach the steps which terminate at the top of the fort towards the end of the climb. There are around 100 odd stairs during the course of the climb. The second route involves climbing short steps carved out of large rocks, which makes this trail tricky. It is advisable to follow the first route, owing to the convenience assosciated with it.
