Avandh is a prominent huge rock massif, standing next to Patta fort. It has huge walls and a narrow summit. The steps to the top are blown off and, at many places, one has to resort to rock climbing. This peak was probably used as a watch tower.

Avandh is best approached from Ninavi (Nashik to Girwadi by bus and trek to Ninavi). A track leads to the base of the rocky massif, from where the rock climb starts. At the top one discovers a small cave and a fantastic view of Patta fort.

Or Igatpuri to Taked by 1145 h bus. Travel to Adsure dam (30 km) and trek to Pattawadi.
