Napta is a prominent rocky projection at the edge of the ghats and is visible from many places. It has nose like shape and is difficult to climb. Travel to Malegaon phata by Samgamner bus from Igatpuri. Reach Panchani village by bus. Cross a small depression to reach base of Napta via Pethachiwadi (5 km). Proceed to a col between two peaks of Napta and traverse the southern edge of the main peak. It has about 40 m rock climb and very bad scree has to be crossed. Near the top you find another 20 m of bad scree. There is a great view from the long ridge, which is at the top.
