From Dahanu (120 km from Mumbai) travel to Charoti naka (24 km) and 4 km ahead is the temple of Mahalaxmi. A peculiarly shaped pinnacle near the temple is interesting to climb. A fairly good track leads to the cave at the base of the pinnacle 100 m high. Traverse ahead to the north west and reach the start of the climb.



The rock is loose and steep and the climb is exposed but not too difficult. The route leads along the ledges and the last 40 m are not too difficult, but a rope is essential. One has to be very careful on these easy looking slopes. A few accidents have taken place here and people have died. No drinking water is available anywhere on the mountain.
