From the back side of the forts - Ankai village (8 km from Manmad) connected by road - steps leads to 8 Buddhist caves at the base of Tankai. Climb the steps further to reach a well fortified common entrance of the forts. The area has white marble like stones.
Left is Ankai, which has many things to see. Regular steps leads to a number of fortified entrances, a cave with some sculptures and finally to the top where a domed building is located. On top, one can see 5 caves, 7 water tanks, an arched enclosure at the end of the fort with a huge pond in dried condition, a dargah etc. A huge cave below the summit is now an Ashram, where one can stay a night. Good views of Tankai fort and the trek takes 3 hour.
Hadbi Chi Shendi pinnacle is 7 km from Manmad at Katarwadi. Approach the base of the pinnacle, rest is 50 m rock climb for the professionals.
