There are 3 ways to reach the fort. One from Pimpla village, second from Malgaon village and third from Vatode village. The route from Malgaon is comparatively easy and well in use. A path from the main road of this village goes towards the small dam and it takes about 15 minutes to reach here. One can reach here by a private vehicle too. The path is very next to the dam and beyond which is the ridge of a mountain. The point where the dam wall meets the path, there is a route to the left which takes us to the ridge of the mountain. After a 30 minutes hike on this route we come to a flat ground from where we can see Pimpla fort. The rock wall which is spread in south-north direction has the needle eye of the fort. While climbing from Malgaon, we can’t see the needle eye unless we reach the fort.
15 minutes walk from the open ground takes us to the base of the hill of the fort. From here, a bit steep hike for 15 minutes till we reach the rock wall which is spread in East-West direction, a path which is below the rock wall, turns to the right. As we move ahead on this path, keeping the mountain to our left and the valley to out right, we come across a point where the two rock walls meet. Next to it is the needle eye of the fort on the Soutn-North spread rock wall. There is a steep path going towards this needle eye. It takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to reach the needle eye from the base. On the lower side of the needle to the right, there are 3 rock cut water tanks. Above this there is a naturally formed cave and it is estimated that it may soon turn into another needle eye due to rock and soil erosion.
After this, one can enter the needle eye to experience the amazing view and soothing winds. Going forward from the needle eye to the left, we can see the two rock walls meeting. From this pass is the route to ascend the fort. After climbing here and once we reach the top, there are 3 rock cut water tanks which are now dried. Salher fort is visible from the top. After this, head back to the needle eye and cross it, where there is another route which circumvents the two rock walls and leads us to the needle eye again. On this route, we come across a wall which has been reinforced with cement plaster and has a painting of a goddess on it. Behind this there is a scripture carved in rock. The route coming from Pimpla village joins here.
