Introduction

Points of Interest
There are 2 ways to the fort, which lead to the base of the final summit. Here we find 2 caves and a water tank. There are around 150 rock cut steps to the top. After ascending the steps to the fort, we can see the remnants of the entrance and there is a stone inscription on the left side of the entrance. The mountain top is extensive. We need to go to the left side after the entrance. Here we come across 3 ways. The rightmost way leads to few rock-cut caves. The middle one takes to the temple of Lord Shiva on the fort. The leftmost way leads to the mountain face where we find around 18-20 caves. Some caves are suitable for staying and here a water cistern is also present.
We can see the forts of Rajdher, Chandvad, Koldher, Dhodap, Ikhara from the top.
