This is a difficult fort to reach, recognised by a hole on the extreme right side on top. The top is above the hole and standing over there is an experience in itself. Steps leading to the fort are blown off, so one has to climb the steep rock face of 20 m.

From Igatpuri travel to Bhavli by bus. Trek to Kulangwadi and then to the col of Madangad - Alang. Reach a very narrow and exposed track at the bottom of the rock climbing wall. Someone good in rock climbing has to overcome this difficult and highly exposed section to fix a rope to make it safe for the party. A guide from the near by village is advised. There is a hole carved out in the rock at the top of the climb, which is good for fixing a rope.

Further ahead steps leads to the upper plateau having a huge cave and water tank. There is an excellent view of the neighbouring forts - Kulang and Alang. It is easier to descend by rappelling down. One must be experienced and careful whilst climbing this fort.
